I did not use a stabilizer, nor a hoop. Just be cognizant of the tension of your stitches.

There is no need for stabilizer in my opinion. Alex told me using a hoop will be sufficient to keep the stitches flat. Think...

Lorchen you are a hoot! :lol: Phyllis don't mind her she's not really predatory it's just with the owl in her hands! :roll: Glad to see you on the forum - keep in touch, it helps. And don't forget there is a mine of information about quilting in most of these quilters and they are only too happy to help. Happy Quilty New Year. Rita.

Hi,
I thought I'd share my own journey and how I deal with this...
I like others have a couple of projects on the go at a time. I now keep them in shoe boxes.
My tricks, I use graph paper and colouring in pencils just to see the colours together...
The second I use, is to lay it out somewhere where I can just walk past and see what it needs... after "living with it" fora couple of days, I usually get back on track..
The third, don't be scared to unpick!! Sometimes, I just take something back off..
The fourth, post a picture hear for feedback/suggestions or ask non-quilty friends whether it is working or not (ask them to be honest.. they can provide invaluable input)..
If all else fails, it goes in a shoe box, until I can deal with it again!
Hope some of this helps... I started piecing panels with borders only... and just for cushions... then graduated to table runners... then lap quilts... and just recently my first bed quilt... sooooo keep going, keep going, keep going!!

Oh dear, Cath, I don't think I can afford to buy enough shoes so that I have the right amount of boxes for all those projects that wait for me to be in the right mood to finish them.
I'm a very anarchic and totally chaotic quilter. I do whatever I feel like, and if nothing that I have started already feels right I just start something new. In order to get anything finished I sometimes need to set myself a deadline. That occasionally works. My best way to sometimes focus is to tell friends what I'm working on. I then feel that I really need to get on with it and finish it before they have forgotten all about it.
Rita, you are so right. My married friends all trust me with their husbands.From the edge of Sherwood Forest, home of Robin Hood

Giggle...... Debbie, that B.A. in English language has to be used occasionally.
I had a professor at university in the early 1970s who wrote underneath an essay of mine about 'The Role of Women in Victorian Literature': 'Please, keep your anarchic mind in check. Marking your essays is a nightmare, but never boring!'From the edge of Sherwood Forest, home of Robin Hood
