    On the quilting stitch using stabilizer will give you a real mess on the back. I know from experience you will have to use tweezers and still probably never get all the bits of white out.

    You need to change your settings. Under your profile, under My Account click "General Settings". Then you need to scroll all the way down to Miscellaneous options (at the bottom of the page). Click the radio button next to "Enhanced Interface - Full WYSIWYG editing" MAKE SURE you click the "save changes" button after doing this.

    You will then see the little tree icon in a frame when you compose messages on the QB. You need to make sure your pictures are resized as there are size limits for uploading pics and most people have their camera settings at way too high a pixel value.

    GeriB looks like you solved your problem. That is a pretty table topper.

    Check your stitch length too. I was using a too short length which resulted in puckering. Sometimes the present lengths need tweaking too.

    I love the hand look quilting stitch. Wish mine worked. Nice EPP project. I've been doing them myself recently, but alas have to do actual hand stitching. Lucky you!
