thank you so much. It did some practicing and then actually started without marking, as all I do is adding flowers in each corner of the block. The blocks have different shaped Applications on it so it would not have made sense to mark, every free corner is slightly different.
It is going quite well, my biggest problem at the moment is that the thread is blending in so much that I have a hard time to see where I am..............and the machine is quite hot, so I gave both of us a break.
Going through all my needles I found that Schmetz universal 90/14 have the biggest needle eye for the thread and so far I just had breakage from the bobbin thread
