Thank you Marion.
Great job on your quilt. Your post and descriptions are helpful too. Thanks for explaining the process as I have wondered about these quilts. I haven't tried to do the whole quilting process with the EMB machine yet.
Have you tried any of the stippling blocks in our machines? Wonder if they would work? You would have to re-align the fabric for the next design space.
I admire your courage to do FMQ. I've only tried it once. Not pretty!
