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?
When I say quilt it to death, I mean close together. The pattern doesn't really matter because you will not be able to see it anyway. This makes it a great place to practice! I meander about an inch apart. Arrrg! This is so much easier to show you than to tell you!!
