Gail....ty so much for kind words. I like paper piecing.. I was puzzled though because I followed directions I printed out and followed step by step....set machine stitch lower, supported stitching when tore paper off, used vellum etc. When I removed paper, stitches were loopy. I asked about it on live chat last night and found out that the vellum I used was too heavy... I bought it at Joann's in scrapbooking/paper department. DONT make that mistake. It was wonderful to work with, but apparently too thick. There is another vellum for paper pieceing (who knew..not me) and it is thinner. So it you try it use the one for paper piecing OR someone said they buy the tablets for kids to draw on at office depot and it is blank newsprint(once again I didnt know that). SO I learned something else new too lol.
