Thanks for the reminder to make my stitch length shorter. I did remember a couple of times while I was stitching :? but only went down to 2.0. I'll try 1.8 and see if that helps. I also remember reading in a quilting magazine or somewhere a while back about using a water-soluble stabilizer but had forgotten. I thought about using computer printer paper but didn't think I would be able to see through enough to match the lines...I'll give that a try too. You all are great! Thanks! :thumbup:
