I'm going to start doing the one with all the birdhouses and I was reading the directions and am confused like you so I put it down for the moment and was going to do something simple for fall and don't you know it is the same thing with the paper and I though oh let me sit down when I'm fresh and can think. I did something the other day and got it on the piece it was little but I'm not sure I did it right and I sure don't want to mess up this Bird Quilt I love McKenna's pieces they are so pretty I guess because I love nature. I saw her do a block on Fon's & Porter a while back and it is in one of their mag's. I hope you've had good luck. I used to use that fusible all the time and now can't figure it out. Good luck. Sue
