Originally posted by mellymooHas anyone that is attempting the half size version of the BOM decided on the size of the blanket stitch for the applique letters ?
I just can't decide on what looks good :?I tryed the double blanket stitch with Aurifil mako 50 wt cotton, but I found it is too bulky, and make too big holes (80 needle). And I also tryed with single blanket stitch, and didn't like the result - again, because of the holes it made.
As soon as I find my "recipe", i'll let you know.

I did the math for the basket block, but didn't make it yet - I need to chose my fabrics. But I want to share what I have so far.
The finished size must be 3" x 7". So the top of the basket is a hypotenuse of a half-square-triangle, which should measure 3". The side of the basket should be 2-1/8" - not convenient to divide by 3 (for the 3 squares). If you round up, you will have a hypotenuse of more than 3" - the points of the basket will get caught in the seam allowance. If you round "down" - then you will have a little bit of background fabric showing between the side seam and the basket - which is what I prefer...about 1/8 of an inch on each side.
So, if each square in the basket is 5/8" finished, you need to cut your squares to 1-1/8".
From the background, you need a 2-1/2" square on points for the background of the basket - that should be enough.
Then a rectangle of 2-1/4" x 3-1/2" ( background of the handle and flower)and a rectangle of 3-1/2" x 4-1/2" (background of the letter "B") ******CORRECTED!!!!
The basket handle should be made with 1/8" bias maker.
Hope that helps. Can't wait to do this one...

Well, after a little correction on the background fabric measurement, I was able to finish (almost) that block tonight.
After Step 5 and 6, The basket part should measure 1-7/8" wide. Then at step 7, align the 1-3/4" mark on the center to trim. At step 8, trim the other side so the block is 3-1/2 inch.
I made the basket handle with 1/8" bias: I cut the fabric 3/8" wide (about 5 inches long), and fold into thirds.
I thought the blanket stitch would be too wide, so I chose a small zig-zag (width = 1.0, length = 1.5).
The letter should be positioned at 3/4" from raw edge (top and sides).
Here is my "almost" finished panel (still missing the stitch around the letter - not sure about the color):

For applique thread, you might try Invisifil by Wonderfil. It's 100 wt polyester - much less expensive than silk, available in single spools or packs with coordinated threads, and available online. You can use a 60 sharp needle with it. Susan Cleveland recommended it to me, an it's beautiful stuff!
