Thanks ladies! This is my first real attempt at fusible appliqué (I did the blanket stitch by hand though, not tried it by machine and didn't want to use JoAnn's centre as a practice piece! I must say I think I like it better than needleturn, because the points are much crisper (well, mine are anyway!) Patti, I just came back from the PO so it's on it's way, don't think it had time to become French so you should be able to comprendre what she tells you! Esq - I've been around but not as much, some life stuff going on here!
