It could act as part of the quilting. but having never done this before I wasn't sure how to proceed. Has anyone done this?
Or another approach would be to find a star that is just embroidery. I've been searching for one of those with no success. It needs to be simple and plain.
This is a QOV. the pattern shows the stars randomly placed on the 20 blocks. Will that be hard to accomplish?
As you can tell, I'm really new to using my embroidery machine.
Thanks for the help.
