Like I said , once your quilt is together, you can't see the knots. To cut down on them , to start take 1 strand floss, double it so both ends are in your hand, loop on bottom. Thread. Take a tiny stitch and catch loop in back. then come up to top and go from there. OR do this on an existing thread in back. Make sense?

Before my printer got zapped by lightning awhile back...I would flip the pic (sometimes) so that it would be backwards on my printer paper...or if it didn't matter to the design just print it off...then I use a hot iron transfer pen or pencil (hobby lobby and SOME walmarts have them) to make them into hot iron transfers. I know a light box is easier...but I don't have one yet...and my arms don't stay "up" long enough anymore to tape them to a window.
