LOL, now Rae, the funny thing is, when reading what she says about her lovely batik quilt, "you can ALMOST see the stitching in the border". The beauty in that quilt is not about the quilting. You can hardly see the quilting at all. It's in the wonderful fabrics that you already have. You can make that wonderful quilt just as you planned. You can do outline quilting of the appliques and all that is is putting your quarter inch foot on the edge and stitching around. When you come to another piece, you just stay a quarter inch away from everything as you go till you get back where you started. If I can do it, anyone can! LOL
