I am a machine applique-er. I really don't like to do much hand stitching. For this project I am using a #10 sharp needle, Superior clear thread on top and Superior Bottom Line in the bobbin. I set my zigzag stitches to width 1.0, and length at .80. I think these are fairly good stitches. Barely catching the first couple threads on the applique, and the thread is so thin it practically disappears.
I have my Patrick's Spotlight 12.5" block done and hope to work on the 6.5" block later today or tomorrow. I'll post photos when I have them both done.
Happy SuperBowl!
hugs, Jupiter
