Yes I was. I was using the decorative stitches as the quiliting for the quilt. just going around each black block. I didnt know I had to use stabilizer with it. exactly how can i do that if the quilt is sandwiched?
I think I will try this again on each block before piecing the block together for a quilt. and not use the stitch for quilting.
