In cases like this I take a photo and print it out on ordinary paper, so I can draw my solutions or glue something on or whatever. That's a good way to try things without ruining the block.

Eileen,

I'm using Ricky's Stable Stuff, and hand appliqueing. As long as I keep my glue off of the very edge where my needle will be going through, it is a piece of cake! In places where I wasn't as careful, it is still doable, but you have to push harder on the needle. Or just wet it a little. I did a tiny sample piece, washed it, and like Jo Jo said, the effect it gives is great!

Eileen, I used stable stuff and appliqued the block I made for Margo by hand. It was a little tougher simply because the applique was stiffer and didn't bend as well as I was working on it but not unduly so. After I washed the block it was perfect and I loved the effect of using it.

Jo Jo, this block is beautiful! I love the design and your choice of fabric. Is that wrapped rick rack for the stems? Excellent!

eileenkny OFFLINE Posts: 1958 Thank you received: 124	Mary, your block is SO delicate and pretty. It's really beautiful!! Robin, I love your focus fabric-it has so much potential. You'll be able to really build on it for the RR quilt. Yum!! JoJo and Annis can I still do the applique by hand if I use the Stable Stuff? It would make great templates, wouldn't it? Is it too thick?

Patchworkjill OFFLINE Posts: 652 Thank you received: 71	I agree with everyone else but if you are still unhappy what about 3 groups of three berries in the top section that way you will have to put them off centre and will take away from the way you see it.
