K - I have some mylar and I have been wanting to try it
but so far I am not brave enough yet. I did make one small
stab at it last year but when it messed up I stopped. Later
I found out "why" it messed up and have since started doing
things differently when I do FSL.
Yes that quilt is fantastic, and you are right it shouldn't matter
that the machine did the actual "work" on the embroidery, if
we machine embroiders don't get the prep work for the machines
then the machines can't do what we want them to do.
Oh and yes I have ran into horrible attitudes because I don't
"hand sew" everything I make I am not a quilter, if I don't do
all the hand embroidery I am not an embroider etc.
To those people I snug my nose to them and think mean,
nasty and evil thoughts.
More often then not those people don't have a creative hair in their
head, much less the mind set on how to begin THINKING with a
creative mind.
