I figure as long as my SBS is still in process, I've got an excuse for hanging around. I'm kind of surprised the moderators have not told us to keep the discussions more on track, and not turn this into a sort of "private" club. Though we may be OK as long as we stay on quilting, and don't get too far off on personal topics (and I mean those that should be private, not sharing pictures of the countryside).
I got in trouble many times on the Vintage Sewing Machines section. I don't think the moderators liked that there were a lot of people who hung out there with little or no interest in Quilting. Most are gone to a new board and I visit, but my heart is more into quilting than old machines, so I spend most of my time here.
Back on topic - I bought the "Dance of the Dragonflies" pattern and want to do it turned edge machine applique. My plan is to cut the black for the wings, and reverse applique it on top of the colored parts. Not sure though, becuase that has ton of inside corners which I find much harder than outside corners. Or I could give up that idea and do it raw edge with a narrow satin stitch. Can't do any work on it until I decide which way to go.
