I was looking at those and wondering how you'd do them! LOL Are you going to needleturn or fusible them?
I'd be investing in one of those big magnifying things I think, the type they advertise for old ladies to do needlework with.. the ones the size of a dinner plate.
i have the magnifying swing arm lamp. i use them at the lab every day and then when i got into doing micro quilting/stippling i purchased one for the sewing machine.
the ones that they make specially for the sewing machine don't have as good a lens.
i love it and i've been using it to help with the mini's.
for the appliques i think i'm going to use a mixture of applique techniques just like with the regular janes. some needleturn, some fusing, some praying to the quilting gods for mercy - that kinda thing.
as i go thru them i'll post and give instructions on how i do with those blocks.
Ohhhhhhh.... that must be SO handy!! Now why didn't santa bring me one of those... I was good last year... honest!! ;-)
