What is Appliqué?
Appliqué is a technique in quilting where fabric shapes are sewn onto a larger piece of fabric to create beautiful, intricate designs. Traditionally, this process involves tracing patterns, carefully cutting out each piece by hand, and then sewing them in place—a labor of love, but one that can be time-consuming and tricky, especially for beginners.


That’s where our laser-cut appliqué come in! At Westfield Laser Design, we’ve reimagined this age-old technique to make it more accessible and enjoyable for everyone. Our laser-cut appliqué are pre-cut, pre-fused fabric pieces that are ready to be placed and sewn onto your quilt. No more tedious tracing, cutting, or worrying about crooked edges—just precision, ease, and a whole lot of creative fun.
