The Stitch Witchery worked. In fact, I had to use it for another part where I was snipping threads and accidentally cut the backing fabric.
This quilt is almost done. I stitched around the flowers, using walking foot, the lines are octogon.
I top stitched the pieced pieces with different built in choices of Janome. I used warm and natural and measured, so the parts I stitched are less than 10". So I am not going to FMQ the background like I was thinkng of doing.
