it is hard to stitch through fusables using the machine...about impossible for hand stitching, sorry that your lqs did not explain that the fusable was meant for machine applique. a good thimble, and a pair of needle-nose pliars may be necessary.
beautiful blocks.

cardboard. Did I read the instructions carefully? No. Did I make a sample? No. Have I tried different needles? Sure, not a big help.
Have I learned anything ? You bet. Will I finish the blocks? Yes, but slowly!!
