We have all been to craft shows where we see those embroidery machines working away with no one operating them as they are programmed by a microchip, the results are always perfect, we are not programmed by "chips" therefore the mistakes we make are all part of us. Having something that is handmade especially for you IS special, flaws and all.

Have a lovely Christmas everyone keep on Quilting in 2011 with passion.

As for filler, I have a friend who suggested using "crushed emory." That way, it would keep your pins (and needles) nice and sharp. She suggested maybe Lowe's or someone would carry it. Anyone heard of where it is sold?

I don't see why not, the only thing I would say is that with the 6" squares that I used, the hanging was rather stiff but maybe with bigger squares...
