I will be using a fusible craft batting. The last time I used W&N on a project like this, it refused to FMQ for some reason.

Sounds like a good plan. I would love to see a picture of what you plan to do. I just use loose leaf paper or copy paper as a stabilizer, lots less expensive than stabilizer. I made a monster quilt for my GS and used the paper as a stabilizer it worked perfectly.

After reading all the rules for posting pictures, I think this is OK. This is a tile sculpture by Paula Horsley of the UK that I will use as my inspiration for a wall hanging.
