I just took a workshop on machine applique from a nationally known designer/teacher. She uses Bounty paper towels for stabilizer; I used the paper towels I buy at Sam's Club and they worked great. You will just have to practice getting to end of the thing you are appliqueing. If you are making an inside turn, you leave your needle down on one side of the item, if an outside turn, leave the needle down on other. I am sure there are better instructions than this, but all the ones I read left me confused, so I had to figure it out for myself.
Your piece looks pretty. Be proud of yourself and have another go at it immediately. froggyintexas
