Yes, I did. (post 315) They are so easy if you have the yo yo tool.

I see very little dots of red. Am I doing something wrong. Are there some special settings or something?

Oh...Sorry that happened for you. I try to avoid using dark thread in bobbin because of this very thing. If tension is off, like in machine quilting, it will poke thru to other side. I've never used the button hole stitch with monopoly since the whole purpose of using it is for invisible stitching. Hopefully, the tension change is helping with this. May want to try a less dense stitch, as well...like a zig zag or blanket once the tension is figured out.

Here is a close-up of micro zig zag using monopoly. I just did this last night so it was out on my table. I do turned edge applique and this works for me. My setting is .5 width and .9 length. If you do raw edge, I would use a bit larger stitch to avoid fraying on the edge. I,also, use a 70/10 needle to avoid large needle holes. Hope this helps.

I finally got the first two blocks done. I chose to make the large sunflower but mine came out quite a bit bigger than it was supposed to.
