:-D :-D :-D I was playing with this tonight and I haven't done it since I made that lone star for my bed. I think it turned out pretty good and I used my new pounce too! I love that thing, but you can't see it very well on certain fabrics. Any way it comes off after pressing it and this is how it looks with out the messy powder stuff all over it. Just think of how nice it will be when I get my new toy. I'm planning to put this on the lone star table toppers I'm doing. Enjoy, Huggies, Fay...P.S. the picture is a tad fuzzy

Nice job - I haven't tried anything like this yet - so how did you do it? What size is it?

I have a template that has a couple of small feather wreaths on it and all I did was pin the fabric, batting and some thing for the backing and then put the template on the fabric and used a pounce to put the pattern on the fabric. The powder from the pounce will stay put until you press it off with the iron or a damp cloth. Then you put a darning type of foot on your machine and either drop or cover the feed dogs and then you just move the fabric around slowly letting the machine follow the pattern lines. but the template is removed as you will have to line there to follow. That's it but if you move too fast you will have some thread breaks and possably some needle breaks so move slowly and it will turn out nice, but it does take a lot of practice and I do that before I start any project. Well have a great night, Huggies, Fay

Great work! Thanks for the tip too. It looks like you have got it down to a fine art!

Thanks for showing us. I bought a Pounce, but haven't had a chance to use it yet. So glad it works good.

Great job! I haven't tried doing free motion yet, I find it intimidating. I belong to a friendship group and Tuesday we are all bringing over our machines so one of the women can show us how to set it up for free-motion quilting.

Who knows, I may make a whole quilt!
