Do you use cotton thread to do the applique, maybe a really thick thread so you can see the pretty buttonhole stitches? Or do you need to use some sort of wool yarn/thread?
I think they are so pretty, I just hope they can be used/loved as well.
You should wash your wool first, I have used hot water and then dry in the dryer. Then use as normal.
I use DMC floss, or a thicker thread sometimes. If you use multiple strands, you can see the applique stitches depending upon what color you use.
I did make a wool quilt but it was heavier than sin.
