I haven't invested in a teflon sheet. That's an interesting piece of knowledge. Thankyou. I am of course learning as I go.
It's just a single block that will be a part of my learning quilt. So far I have a, "birds in flight" and "4 Diamond" blocks for the paper piecing lesson, 4 "Bowties" and a "cobblestone" block for the piecing lesson, and now I'm on applique with the butterfly block. All in all I'm looking to complete 15 blocks of all different techniques and then add sashing to frame each one and then do a boarder. I'm thinking of a finished size of 57" x 38" my colors are christmas red, dark steel blue and harvest gold with black sashing and boarder.
Since I'm using cotton embroidery thread do I really need to protect it when I iron? I didn't know that. When using the silk definitely but this isn't the silk thread.
