Applique Artisan Badge

About the Badge

The Applique Artisan Badge is all about adding fabric shapes to a background to create designs with personality, texture, and charm. Whether you try fusible applique, raw edge applique, needle-turn applique, or another method entirely, this badge invites you to slow down, play with shape, and add a little extra storytelling to your quilted work.

Badge Requirements

• Learn the basics of applique, including at least two different methods or approaches.
• Choose an applique method that fits your project, comfort level, and available tools.
• Prepare and attach one or more fabric shapes to a background fabric.
• Practice a stitching method to secure your applique, such as straight stitch, zigzag, blanket stitch, or hand stitching.
• Complete a quilted block, mini quilt, pillow, wall hanging, or other small project that includes applique.

Badge Options

Choose the version that fits your badge-collecting style.

Embroidered Patch

The embroidered Quiltbound badge is made with high-quality embroidery on a twill backing and measures 2" x 2".

This patch is designed to be sewn on, so you can attach it to a quilted tote, project pouch, denim jacket, badge banner, or wherever you’re keeping track of your quilting adventures.

Please note: this is not an iron-on patch.

Vinyl Sticker

The vinyl sticker version measures 2" x 2" and is a fun, easy way to celebrate your badge without picking up a needle.

Add it to a water bottle, laptop, sewing machine case, notebook, project bin, or anywhere you want a little Quiltbound trail marker.

Patch + Sticker Bundle

Can’t pick between the patch and sticker? Honestly, same.

The bundle includes both the embroidered patch and the vinyl sticker, so you can sew one onto your favorite project bag and stick the other wherever it brings you joy. Tiny badge dopamine, basically.

A Little Badge Note

These badges are meant to be earned, collected, and celebrated. Whether you’re learning a new technique, finishing a long-lost project, or trying something that feels just a tiny bit outside your comfort zone, your badge is a small but mighty reminder that you took the scenic route and did the thing.
