Everyone's talking about stabilizer, and I *think* I wouldn't need stabilizer then, but not sure...
thanks!
When you sew around each of the appliques, you are going to be spinning the quilt around and around. This may not be very easy, depending on the size of your quilt, and the size of your machines throat.
You may find it easier to stitch around the appliques before you attach the borders.
Just something to think about :D:D:D
:shock: :shock: :shock: You're a genius!! And you just saved me a lot of annoyance! Thank you!
