I encourage students to use a design board (think cardboard or foam core board). Once the design covers the batting to your satisfaction, you cover the whole thing with bridal tulle (fine netting) and you quilt it to death with your machine.

Got it?
When you say quilt it to death do you mean you pick a quilting pattern and then sew it very close together?
