I choose a backing fabric then machine quilt it with batting ... i have a mid arm and look for reasons to "quilt fabric"!! I then cut that in strips and use "Ultra Bond" ultra... lay the embroidered item(usuall 3 to a hooping) on top and fuse them.
This year i had some surgery so the date had to be added with a sharpie!!! had to cut down on stitch out time.. and used glitter pain for a fill in of the skipped colors during stitchout.. (Where there's a will, ya' know)... i'm pretty happy with these..! Sometimes getting "funky" pays off!!!! thanks for looking... bj
