I'm not the greatest FMQ'er; but I found I can write on fabric pretty easily. I have written on borders--Hey diddle diddle....; names of flowers; baby's name I just practiced cursive writing with my finger on the border pieces and got a general idea how big I had to write it. When actually sewing whenever I had a black space at the "end" of the line I filled in with a couple of curlicues. So much easier for me than trying to follow the lines of written text. Here's a corner of my quilt for GS's quilt.[ATTACH=CONFIG]432246[/ATTACH]
