I than do a large stipple over the entire quilt top when it is pieced together.

What ever method you use it will be beautiful!!

Happy New Year!
I also like the tricot fusible; keeps the fabric soft. Tricot fusible is less expensive if purchased from a drapery company. I got mine from the following online source:

Wow! Is inflation hitting, or what? The price has doubled since I purchased an almost-lifetime supply 4 years ago.........
