This is a technique especially used in the applique of petty pieces. The applique that is pinned to the background with a relatively large allotment around is sewn and the allotment is cut away simultaneously. In addition to its ease in making small-sized appliques, cut-away applique is also advantageous in making big appliques neatly with one piece of fabric (seam free).
