It would be great if it were.

I use the Customizer that comes with it for sizing, downloading, etc. It is so much fun, I use it nearly every day. I will take a pic of the shirt I made DH for Christmas and get it on here soon. I like to do pants legs and shirts and quilt blocks. Also love the free standing lace, Embroidery.com has great lace Christmas ornaments. They are so nice to slip in with Christmas cards.

I'm almost ready to start quilting my embroidery quilt. Nine blocks with embroidery, sashing, inner and outer borders. Well - almost, almost ready - since I'm replacing the sashing with a different color. A day's work to finish and be ready to baste.
So, I think I mentioned before that the blocks are pretty dense - but they seem worse in my dreams than in real life and are fine.
Anyway, what would be the best batting to use to try to "hide" the stiffness. If I use a low loft, I'm afraid that the distinct back of a dense block will be too obvious through the back.
I'm thinking a mid-loft poly because I don't want any shrinkage of the batting. What do you think?
Thanks,
Cathy

"Sticky" Embroidery thread
I've used my embroidery machine many times to create blocks I use in my quilts. I would love to have this thread easier to access without having to look through all the post everytime.
My photo is an example of a machine embroidered applique of "SunBonnet Bells".
