    Recently someone posted a tip that proved to be a great help to me.
    My husband and I restore sewing machines with a great deal of care.
    Once ready I spend several to many hours working with the machine to create a sew off that demonstrates it's capabilities.
    All the pieces are my original work which means I sometimes create designs that are far more difficult to sew then draw.
    The tip posted by another board member was to lay regular typing paper with the design over your fabric or was it the back and sew. When done use a Qtip dipped in water and run it over the sewn lines to remove the paper without damaging the stitches.
    Well, it worked great. I was able to clearly see my design which allowed to me to anticipate stops and starts etc. It also gave me exact sizes for areas I planned to applique and stitch again.
    Below is a cherry blossom beauty I designed using this tip.
    The second sew off was supposed to be done with the same tip but as usual took on a life of it's own.
    The Cherry Blossom Beauty was done with the machine featured in the following link.

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-Scotish...item2a13d5bad9

    The second sew off is from a unique machine soon to be to go up for auction on Ebay.
    Thanks to all those who share their tips- they have been fun and helpful.
