Oh I knew someone would come back and remind me there are no rules in quilting!!! Though I do like to find out what most people do and all the variations ...... and then I go off and figure out my "right"!!!

I agree about what right is for you! If ya want Monty ta stand out then SID around him but the stipplin' close would be a close approximation of the look ya want. What ever you're gonna make it look great.

As my niece would say, "Ya go girl!"

Hello QuiltE - I think applique needs the outline quilting. This is what I was doing in the pics at posts 414 and 416 of this thread, and also I did a thread on the vintage machine section:-

Using different feet for quilting

Jenniky, I also have had luck the the Press'n Seal. I traced the design with a fine point Sharpie, then dropped the feed dogs and just followed the design. The Press'n Seal pulled off easily. I have no luck with stippling, so I usually STID where I can, and use the Press'n'Seal on the other areas. A FMQ I am not, but I try!

Thanks Muv!! Those posts were the ones that I thought you were doing the blanket stitch on the machine ... and even with your explanation, I didn't catch on that you were stitching up close!! I hadn't seen the vintage thread, being that I don't have a vintage machine, I tend not to check that section. Your stitching has come out so even and you have gotten nice and close.


JenniKy ... I just saw your Mystery Train block and it' specatcular. I like how you finished it off and honestly, IMHO you've given it a far nicer look that way, than if you'd done the piano key border. How large is it? In other words, I'm wondering how much you need to add to get it to the size you want.

Hello Ladies!
Quilt E lead me to this thread...thank you! I have never seen it before. Just quickly went through the last few pages and there is alot of talent in here, and I love the whole patriotic theme! I definitely don't have time to make anything new in the nest few days, but I do happen to have a picture of a quilt I made last year to add to the theme It was sent to Italy, and lives there now Hope to get to browse and see more of your wonderful creations!

Oh Morelcabin, That sure is purty!!!

Welcome MorelCabin!
It's so nice to have you drop by ... and what a special Canadian memory to have sent to Italy.

FYI this thread isn't ending with Canada Day!!! ..... so we'd love to have you come on back and work on another of your unique creations!!
