I think I will splurge and print the PP patterns on proper foundation paper. Then I won't have to shorten my stitch length as much. 1.5 should be fine. Plus I think I will modify or simplify some of the designs. If you Google images for Project of Doom, there are quite a few different blocks that can be mixed and matched. And maybe there are some that would be easier to do as applique rather than PP. Thanks you've given me lots to think about.
