You did such a wonderful job embroidering that quilt - and I agree, the next looks like a piece of cake compared.<br /><br />The Route 66 map looks so nice - I don't see any messiness showing through.... ;) Thanks for the mini-review of the ThimblePads. I'm not much of a thimble user either, so I may have to look into those too.<br /><br />How lucky would you be to get a Smitty Original quilt under the Christmas tree! He'll have to be more careful about those muddy paw prints tho' or you won't be surprised!<br /><br />quiltzyxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08847188443140845514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-29586362247158593582013-11-08T04:57:38.543-08:002013-11-08T04:57:38.543-08:00I'm enjoying seeing those snow buddies.

It sticks out into the air while the next finger in line takes the poke from the wrong end of the needle--which is a hell of a poke from an EZ Threading Needle, I'm here to attest.<br /><br />Footprints on the whites-sounds like my dryer which leaves rust marks on all my whites-maybe my darks too, I just cannot see them !~!<br /><br />Sincerely hoping for a soonest return home for your love.

Instead of muslin, I use a thin fusible batting. It was an Australian pattern and they called it Parlon, and my quilt shop was able to figure out something similar. Once stitch, it really helps to give the stitching the Wow factor. I use it for all my embroidery now, even those that are to be framed.
