Stunning quilt. I would suggest Sheer Delite no show mesh stabilizer for your next string quilt project. It doesn't have to be removed and is very light weight. Once you use it, you will wonder how you did without it. Product can be found at
www.stripsandstrings.com It is 30" wide and comes in 10yd, 25yd, and 50ys rolls. It works great for machine embroidery as well.
