I later washed the quilt to block it for quilt shows, so the stabilizer disappeared.
Take your time. This is doable!!

Thank you for the kind comments on my wolf. It is 40" in diameter. I have around 100 hours in it all together - the tracing and cutting of the wolf pieces took the longest. When you use fusible, you do need to get as close to the edge as possible if you don't want it lifting up - fusing isn't permanent without that help! I used a size 16 needle in my LA and all but 3 of the pieces of fabric were batiks. It was about 8 layers of material with fusible in the thickest part.
If you would like, send me a PM with your email address and I'll email you pictures you can see more easily.

Here is the moose. Enlarged and edges satin stitched then sandwiched and quilted.
This one was NOT enlarged (my sister did it) and quilted it on the LA. It looked like a carpet with all the threads waiting to be buried! I think it has more thread than batting!
