At a quilt show in Montana there was a quilter working on an applique using the Steam 2 Seam II and she showed me that by stitching fairly slowly and ending with the needle down, I could make my turns beautifully without much distortion from the stops. I have used blanket stitch, decorative stitching, zig zag, etc. All with wonderful results. However, I did what she told me to do and that was cut out a bunch of shapes and practice, practice, practice. LOL
