You guys are making it sound so easy! Thx a lot. The pattern was free from
http://www.syverkstan.net/catbom.htm a while back and there are crazy dogs also. It is raw edge, and I used clear thread and applique stitch on the machine. It is all fused down also before stitching. I had fun creating all the cat bodies, but the legs took some imagination. Some are ribbon, bias tape, and fancy stitched. I can't wait to toss it over a chair (and have my big ole tabby make a bed on that black! haha). OH, I cheated a bit and made the cat faces with my embroidery machine.
