Should I just go ahead and quilt them or should I place a piece of white cotton on the back of them then the batting and the backing before quilting? The background of the embroidered blocks are white. Would be interested in any help you can give me. Thanks
There is something sold @ Wilson's LQS in Hagerstown, MD called "PRESTO", which is a thin, white fusible fabric. They use this for EVERY machine embroidery they do, in addition to the stabilizers required. I would google PRESTO and see if you can't find it on line, or perhaps call Wilson's in Hagerstown and ask about it...........it fuses beautifully, you can quilt thru it like soft butter, but it really stabilizes thin fabric and does not loose the drape.........
