the Laundry Basket is certainly a beautiful project... I'm a few years away from being able to tackle that one.

My avatar shows a runner I designed with Edyta's Silhouettes. I used Perle cotton and a hand buttonhole stitch. However, it was rather difficult, as she uses Heat & Bond in her laser cut shapes. I much prefer Wonder Under for applique, as it's easier to needle.

Years ago invisible thread was like fishing line, but no more. It is soft and pliable now.
