I saw that you don't use stabilizer and that is great, with the spring ones the only way to get the fabric to stay still is to use it. it helps keep the stitches from pulling at the fabric. With the ME almost all the time I need to use stabilizer, otherwise the machine pulls to hard on it and sitorts the design and fabric.
I commend you on your work and think it is great, and I sih I was closer and could even jsut watch you while you did some of the work, I want to learn how to do more hand work, patiences is not a strong suit and don't know if it ever will be,
