Thank you! I love the fabric in yours, I am nuts for flowers! The thread you used is that varigated? However you spell it? It is very pretty! I am so excited to see what the quilt is going to look like when finished.!!

I agree it is very pretty. Besides it's the thought that counts. I know I can't wait to see it either. Mary

When I do satin stitch that I don't want to show on the back I use a page out of the phone book as a stabilizer on the back...otherwise some of my stitching always ends up in the feed dogs. If it is fused on I don't seem to have as much of a problem and don't use the phonebook page. Hope that helps

I like it! It is nice and bright, reminds me of spring, perhaps that is the beautiful job you did with your applique!

I've never done FMQ before and I was thinking that if I did the satin stitch with the sandwich together that would be a little easier I hope. This is very new to me. I have just recently mastered blanket stitch on applique.
