I'm very impressed by your blocks. I watched the video you linked to, too. There's something i'm not getting, though, if you'd be willing to share more about your technique: given that there's no foundation, how is it that your decorative stitches aren't puckering the fabric? I know there are 3 layers if seams are pressed to the side. Is that enough to prevent it? It also looks like some of the stitching is in variegated thread. Is it the sulky 30? I've not had luck with it lying nicely without added stabilizer, even with reducing the tension.

Thanks for any hints on this.

Hugs,
charlotte
