This makes sense to me and it would have been easier for me to make the Christmas ornaments I made a few years back. I do really like the way the blanket stitch looks though so I will only use the whip stitch on the very small pieces.

I know we "spoke" before and you watched Anna's videos that I recommended so I am guessing that is why you are asking this question. I am sure others will have an opinion about this. Maybe you can just experiment on some scrap wool and see what works for you.
Thanks for your reply - yes, we did speak before and I enjoyed watching the videos - I think I will use this suggestion too about using the whip stitch on smaller pieces anyway - can't wait to get started. My Soft Fuse should arrive in the mail in a day or two then I can start.
