    Eddie, do you use a double needle when you put the fusible bias tape on? I bought a couple of them just for that purpose, but haven't tried them yet.

    No, but I probably should have if I had thought of it. I actually already have a double needle that came with the machine, just didn't think to use it. :oops: So I stitched along both edges of the bias, once in one direction and then back 180 degrees in the other direction.

I used 1/8" fusible black bias tape to create the leading and then top-stitched it down on both edges of the tape.
    That is downright SCRUMPTIOUS! YOU, sir are an ARTIST!

    Wow, I just love this. Can I get the pattern. I would love to make this for my living room. I need something to hang for the spring and summer months.

    The pattern is from a book called "Impressionist Stained Glass" Brenda Henning. You can see her version on the cover of the book below that I based mine on. I just took her pattern and added more to it so that there was more to it.
