Peckish and Kitsy, thank you for that tutorial! It would be much easier and love the method! I have a curve-master foot and have mastered the traditional way of making them. I will see how futzy it is when there are hundreds to make and definitely will revert to the circle method if I have trouble. I'm wanting to do this tone-on-tone white/ivory/cream! If i had that little bit of contrast piping around each piece, it might help the designs to pop a bit more...I'm told this really go fast and that's another reason I chose this pattern for a king. Any other tips or advice WELCOME. thanks to all.
