Thank you all! I will pick up some ball point needles tonight, and try the “flossing” trick above. It’s so frustrating because it was working fine originally, so I thought it would be a breeze to finish. If it had given me fits from the get-go,8 probably would’ve stuck with gluing them.
Is there any issue using a ball point needle when the quilt/hanging I’m appliqueing it onto is cotton? (Kona with warm and natural batting)
