first, take a couple really deep breaths, and relax...you have several choices that are open to you to try...you can do this by hand, you can outline quilt, you can try free motion, you could have someone else finish or do that part for you. personally, swallow your pride and fear, take it to the class instructor and get her advise-and ask her to show you how to do it. i have been quilting all my life and there are always things that pop up that i have trouble doing or understanding how to do it. besides, if you dont ask the teacher than your money is being wasted on the lesson.
