I put little triangles of masking tape on my quilt top at regular intervals. The triangles were for the center of the simple 5 point stars that we all learned to do in grade school. You just do the star around the tape and do a loop of two over to the next star spot. A simple flower or leaf shape with loops between is easy too. Good Luck!

Great suggestion Tartan ... I'm more of a visual learner, so by chance would you show us a picture here as to how you do it. I have the idea, though would like to see those tape triangles and how you work around them and onwards to the next. Please? Pretty Please? and with sugar on it (or splenda, if you'd prefer!!)
