Yes, you can. I did it, but it did take a long time to do it, and in the end, I wasn't really crazy about how it looked. I used my 7700 to make some daisy type flowers.
Pretty enough, but then I started FMQ and really prefer that look. But, go ahead and try it--you may love it.
And it may be what you need to give you the courage to try FMQ.
