Her paisley style was very pretty, but I haven't tried that one yet. Did you say you have her book and video? She shows how to do each of her different ways of using her technique in the video and her paisley is so neat!
I've found that sometimes even the low-loft polys can be stiffer than natural fibers after they're quilted. Especially if there is a scrim. I was surprised and delighted when the cotton that I used turned out to fall nicely off the side of the bed! One of the days I'll spring for the wool. :)
