She is right. There are two types of heat and bond. Heavy duty and light. Using the heaavy can cause your needle to gum up. But they say you don't need to sew around it. I don't know about that part as I have never tried to sew more than a few inches around. the lighter is alot softer and has always worked well for me. Oh, and that quilt IS beautiful, just in case no one has said that! lol

That is spectacular. Your fan fabric looks like antique hankies. I just love it.

Welcome, KimS. Yes, you will learn a lot and make awesome friends. And of course you're going to see some great eye candy along the way -- BUT , beware, this place is addicting (in a good way!). Welcome to the family.

Leesa,

What fabric did you use for the S&W/fans?

So, I just quilted around the fans and then tacked them with embrodiery thread through the center. It made them look kinda like the little tassles that used to hold the old fans together. I don't know if you can see them in these photos or not. See what you think.
BEAUTIFUL QUILT - your work is really lovely. :lol:
