Tartan... I'm hand-appliqueing... and so far, I've not had a problem with that... maybe I'm just being overly cautious?
Also.... as I walked away from the computer after posting this question... I don't want anyone to think that I take our Memorial Day lightly... it is a very special day to me and my family. Even though we've not had a family member who has made the ultimate sacrifice, we've known many who have and appreciate the many who we don't know and never will know. I don't want to offend anyone....
