    Default Cathedral window question

    I am making a Christmas quilt called Candy Coated Christmas fromThe Quilter Magazine winter 2003, that has 80 cathedral windows. I am having trouble with these, the instructions are not clear to me.The pattern shows to machine stitch, someone said I need to hand stitch, what would be best? Also is there any thing I need to do that makes the windows any easier?

    There is a tutorial here on the board for machine stitching cathedral windows. That might help you out. I did a faux cathedral window row and used glue stick to hold the window panes while I stitched around them.

    The hand stitched and the machine stitched patterns I have were different. The machine one I had to make one up to understand it then I went oh!! It was a bit confusing

    You can machine or hand stitch. I have one project going that is machine stitched and one that is hand stitched for waiting room entertainment. They both look pretty.

    I have only ever done them by hand, but have said if I make any more, I will try to do them by machine.

    I did mine by hand using Eddie's machine method. His instructions are very clear. Wish I knew about the machine method then. It took me a few years to complete mine.
