C that sounds just the ticket! When I'm ironing the interfacing onto man mades I use a medium setting and just leave it for a couple of seconds, check if it's stuck, couple more seconds if necessary. Then leave it to cool completely before touching it.

OK - here's my first finished embellished block and the second one in progress. It's taking a long time because I have to keep looking through my embroidery books for inspiration - sometimes I've copied an idea exactly but mostly I use something as a springboard then make up the rest as I go along. The chain stitch fish for example, started being a vine, became vaguely fishy shaped so ended up - a fish! :-D

I've used beads and silk ribbon as well as couching down some other ribbons from my doodad box! :mrgreen: :lol:

First block done!

Close up of fish - the cat hair is a nice touch, I think!
