In the end, the edge wasn't quite straight, and there was one area that bubbled up a little. Lesson learned.
At any rate, your arrangement looks great. Please post another pic when it's finished!
I know there is going to be a couple of trouble spots because of the fabric, but it is for me so I won't worry too much about it. I am using a small stitch and I starched the heck out of it to try and keep the fabric from moving too much while sewing. I wasn't insulted, I actually like to hear suggestions and constructive criticism, to me it is one way to learn from others.
Thank you
Carrie
