Hi. I posted the English paper pieced quilt. The straight line quilting only went to the applicaied flower. I pulled up the bottom thread when starting by never buried any threads. I backed takes by 2 stitches when starting and stopping. I FMQ the flowers and leaves. I didn't find it too bad as I did a little bit each night for about a week until it was done. I must add that I trialed the following: I used crayons washable markers and drew lines on the white fabric! I used yellow marker. I also glued basted the quilt using elders school house glue. I was afraid to wash it fearing the marker would not come and that the red would run but I did use those color catchers when washing, it cam out great not trace of marker or glue. I will definitely use both techniques agin.
