I seriouly had to look and make sure that somehow MY old post was reposted!! I got help from people on this board and it reallly helped. I also embroidered and sewed to solid colored blocks. A very good sewer told me to tack the blocks together where seams are supposed to alignwhen you are attatching rows (just a couple of stitches) then when you sew 1/4 seam you can't see the hand sewed stitches. Even pins can move. She also told me to throw it across the room if I felt like it but important thing is to keep going! I signed up for a class at LQS )local quilt store) for only $10. If you have quilts in you that need to come out just keep going and try to have fun. When I look at the others work on this site, I just say to myself that I will do that SOMEDAY!
