You just stitch out two templates on stabilizer, A snd B, and basically stitch down 2 columns. Hard to explain, but so easy. It's a lot of hooping, but very doable. Took about 45 hoopings on the sampler quilt. Just used regular quilt batting. I took the sampler quilt to a local quilt shop and the owner wanted to know who was the longarmer! Funny. I was so proud to say I did it myself on my embroidery machine!
