I mentioned that I had to make a nappy cake before starting AOTH on one of the block threads and I now can't find where it was.
So, for those who were curious to know what a nappy cake looked like, I am posting the link here.

I am having a problem with my embroidery. Perhaps it has already been addressed in an earlier posting. When I complete all of my applique I don't have an accurate way to transfer my embroidery lines to the block. I need help :evil: :evil:

My biggest fear isn't for fires here in Hobbs, but up in the mountains of Cloudcroft & Ruidoso. They are just as dry - not much snow this year, so those stupid tourists will just toss their cig. butts out the window without a second thought. These 2 areas are in the Lincoln National Forest - birthplace of Smokey the Bear.

Dee Cee, I hope you get on well with the finger cots. Losie, I mark out the whole of the design onto my background before I start appliqueing. By the time I have finished, some of the markings have faded a bit, but are still enough to be able to go over them again. If there is some embroidery that needs to go over an app. piece, then that is part of the reason I cut the background away from the back of the app. piece. I can then put it back on my light box with the design underneath it, and mark as before.
If the app. piece is not easy to mark that way, then occasionally I have cut up my copy of the design so that I can lay that over the app. piece in order to mark it. Hope that helps.
