After a lot of 'frog stitching' I realized the cutting of the 3/4" 'leading' fabric was an absolute necessity. I used starch, cut it singly, 6 or so inches at a time. Sewing time was also very slow on those leading pieces. I tried cutting the black, which was Hoffmann batik Raven, on the length of the fabric, but then it seemed to tend to ravel. It was an interesting journey.
