A holder for holding an article, including but not limited to an embroidery hoop, is disclosed herein. The holder comprises a first block and a second block adjacently mounted to said first block. The holder further comprises a groove formed between said first block and said second block when said second block is fitted to said first block. Additionally, the groove is configured to hold an article such as an embroidery hoop within said groove. Furthermore, the holder comprises at least one fastener for facilitating fitment of said first block and said second block. The first block and second blocks include a pair of apertures that align when the first and second blocks are fitted together for allowing fasteners to be received therewithin for facilitating secure fitment of the first block and second blocks.

Turned edge fabric appliqus are produced using a first template whose perimeter corresponds to a desired shape of a finished appliqu of certain size, and a second template having a corresponding opening so that the perimeter of the first template fits in the opening with a determined gap between the templates. The perimeter of the second template corresponds to an appliqu of the desired shape but a size larger than said certain size, and the second template fits in a corresponding opening in a third template to obtain the appliqu of larger size. A fabric piece is placed by the first template into the opening in the second template, and an exposed edge of the piece projects through the gap above the first template to define a seam allowance which is ironed atop the first template. The template is then withdrawn from the opening and from the ironed seam allowance.
