Before you waste any more time agonizing over it take your design to Kinko's to enlarge it to the size you want. I bet you will discover that the 'fine' lines are bigger than you thought. Just be sure to use a good stabilizer under your fabric.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Before you waste any more time agonizing over it take your design to Kinko's to enlarge it to the size you want. I bet you will discover that the 'fine' lines are bigger than you thought. Just be sure to use a good stabilizer under your fabric.
Once you have that drawn up to a 21 inch scale those thin lines will not be so thin anymore. I would applique the whole thing using steam a seam
I did enlarge the drawing to the actual size I will need. I'm thinking, based on all the suggestions, that I will cut the whole thing out on fusible web, fuse it to the fabric, and then when I am appliqueing it to the background I will use a variable satin stitch (with stabilizer) on the very thin parts--the fused strips will guide me on that. I hope that will work out.
Thanks for all the suggestions. I always get so much help from y'all.
