Good luck with your quilt!
Watched a YouTube from sue Daley re EPP and she suggests using Bottom Line thread and Millener needle #11... On my to get list. Has anyone tried hexies....not real small using men's ties...I have a shopping bag filled with DDH's and would like to do something striking for daughters from them. Any suggestions?????
