Tim it looks great and nice to see some bright colors for a change and no browns

Come on Tim I know you can say pink if you try hard

Patrice we all know you can you can do anything. Its lovely as usual love the pink.

Just for that, the next one is in brown and other earth tones.

When you see me put pink in a quilt, call homeland security cause someone kidnapped me and is impersonating moi.

now that's an interesting idea. i hadn't even considered putting it up for auction.

make me an offer.
:twisted:

Wow, Tim, I love the colors. I tried to PP the other day. Didn't come out very well. guess i need to practice more. What type of paper do you use when you PP? I didn't have anything but regular copy paper, maybe the thickness was the problem.

the thicker the paper, the smaller the stitches need to be so it'll tear off easily.

i've been tearing apart the fanfold paper with carbons in between designed for dot matrix printers. the individual sheets are 15 lb paper. (normal copy paper is 20 lb) i bought a HUGE box years and years ago to use for a lot of different things. i'm almost out, though, so i'm going in search of tracing paper light enough to tear easily but heavy enough to survive a printer.

I use regular copy paper also. It hasn't been an issue. As Patrice says, instead of 2.5 on the old stitch length, I use between 1.5 and 2.

You might try a office supply store and see about a package of 15 wt. Copy paper. One ream will last you probably 10 years.
