Ducky, no, I don't do the applique with the stranded at all, I use regular machine sewing thread. Cotton if I have it, or poly cotton, whichever is the best colour match.
Ohhhhhhh. See? I've already learned a lot in the few days I've been practicing.
"Poodling"? I love it! I need to start saying that. Anyway, I need to put this AOTH practice stuff aside and finish lap quilts for BIL and DH. I was going to have them done when they had their surgeries -- in January -- but, guess what?
