Thanks Judy for pointing out the location of instructions for block 10..regular applique. Doing the 7" blocks..it just seemed like too much effort to me when you can easily do it the regular way.

:idea: I just realized that if I'm going to do the blanket stitch by machine on the front through batting and a backing, that will make it difficult to do the embroidery on the front, right?
I was thinking of doing the embroidery before doing the machine blanket stitch, but I'm open to ideas.
I bought a light box many years ago. They were expensive back then, but I "needed" it for some project. They are well worth the money if you're going to get a lot of use out of them.

I think it would be possible to hand embroider with the batting on the back. The knot could be buried in the batting, and then the embroidery would have to be more or less surface stitched from the front, but not all the way through to the batting unless you took the odd small bite of it unintentionallly.

I like the idea of doing the embroidery first, but would then have to be perfect at the blanket stitch. I'm also trying to figure out how to do the embroidery by machine. Don't know if I can get a narrow enough zig zag to do it, but I may try! :lol:

LOL Candace..you would die if you saw mine!! My 12 1/2" square ruler balanced between 2 chair seats and a lamp on the floor....it works just fine though! LOL!
Diane..I think you could hand embroider them even with the batting/blanket stitch depending entirely on what type of thread you are using and the size needle. I couldn't do it with my R/D. Doing the blanket stitch with the top and batting only sounds a whole lot like how several of us did our Jane quilts. Adding the backing after that is. I'll be interested in seeing what you end up doing.

Candace, I just got a Light Tracer by ArtOGraph from Dick Blick Art Materials.

It was #34.99 + s&h. It's 10" x 12" & I find that it's the perfect size for what I'm doing. I got it for my birthday present to me! I do give myself the best presents! :wink:
