Well I had to bring in my machine - the needle moved over and came down on the 1/4' foot and messed it all up. UGH. But while I was there I spied my water fabrics and had to pick them up. I love them and will use the one with white spots for my surf - I hope.
Not sure what you mean about the backing for the kites - They are sewn on the marbled blue and I embroidered the strings down.
