I am working on the third block of Wind in the Whiskers and having so much fun once I finally started, so don't be afraid!

I really enjoy the McKenna Ryan patterns and her line of fabrics. Her patterns are time consuming and call for alot of patience and precision. A really good pair of scissors are a must...one that cuts clear to the point so you can get into all of the nooks and crannies. The lighter the fusible backing the better so that the whole thing doesn't stand alone when it's finished. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm wondering about the fusible thread that Superior carries that is, I believe, for the bobbin and melts when ironed. I must try that soon!! After fusing the pieces together on an ironing mat and then on the backing I use monofiliment and a small stitch (1.5) and stitch around the edges of each piece as close to the edge as possible. It's helpful if you have a machine that has the "needle down" feature so that you can pivot easily on the points and in the V's. Hope you enjoy![ATTACH=CONFIG]457171[/ATTACH]
