158714wow such a beautiful coming along quilt...i still have to try my hand at quilting... dont have the time unfortunately to dedicate and teach myself in the process.... i see that you use batting when you embroider do you batting at the end when the quilt has been completed as well?

109774It is fun to do the paper piecing method, but I hate to pick all the little bits of paper out....Your 'stitch and tear' seems like a great idea. Thank you.

Thank you yes if you copy your pattern on the stitch an tear it is much better my roll of stitch and tear is just the right size for an A4 so I have only got to cut it width size the length is perfect and if you reduce the size of your stitches it is even easier I reduce my stitches to 1.8 that works for me

Thank you Sue, my FMQ is not the best but I try and get some practice when doing projects for myself
