Thanks for responses. I agree about the fabric choice; will do differently next time. Grandma Mary, I love your topper and luvrazz yours too. Need better stabilizer too, and there is no button on mine, and just did what she did on tut; didn't have time to find any. Grandma Mary, did you buy the pattern or use the one on the utube tutorial? Maybe I just need to break down and buy the pattern. Luvrazz, did you glue those little beads on or what? Thanks again everyone; great responses.
