Debbie, its hard to see with the stabalizer on there, but it looks like you are "getting" it!
Loise..I don't blame you, that will be quicker and will look very neat and clean!
Thought ya'll might like to see my very very expensive light table...keep in mind, its hard to find one like it!! LOL!!!
Hey, I like that light table. It's almost as fancy as mine. I'm using the glass out of a picture frame, laying across two 2x4's with an undercounter light underneath it. It works.
I've been working on some needleturn applique, trying it different ways and have decided that I like the backbasting way the best so far. I was having trouble with things not lining up as well as I'd like when I traced the pattern onto the front of the block and traced the individual pieces onto their fabric. But by tracing onto the back and basting each individual piece of fabric where it goes, it works great for me. Still not very good at any of it, but I do enjoy it.
