The very sad part about this is: lots of kids don't learn how to write in cursive anymore. They won't be familiar with it when they need it.
I had used a puffy batt in a table topper. (Wrong) I was told to put more quilting on it to tame it. So I started stippling. I couldn't believe how easy it was. If you looked at it closely, you could tell it wasn't done by computer or by a real professional, but overall, it was fine. After I was finished, I found I had done some parts with a larger stipple and some parts smaller. It still looks OK. The next quilt, I put on large stipples and this time they are closer to the same size over the whole quilt.
