    Lois, here's a link that should bring you right to it:

    Pamela, that's where I get my thread. If you are using it just remember that because it's an embroidery thread you will need to reduce your top tension. I reduce mine to about 1 or 2 and I use a 90/14 embroidery needle.

              Rita, your quilt is fantastic and it looks like you will be able to enjoy it for the holidays!

              As for the lines staying with pounce, Hancy's pounce pad instructions provide helpful hints, among them one that says that "if you have trouble with the chalk rubbing off the fabric too soon, spray the chalk outline lightly with an alcohol based aerosol hairspray, it will stay on until you wash it off." Of course, that only helps if you plan to wash your quilt, but certainly is a tip worth considering, especially since using the pounce pad is quicker than marking every line.

                I had saved a handful of pictures that I had gotten from this site. They were close ups of Janet's quilt showing the quilting. Now I can't find them on my computer or this site. Does anyone remember where they were?
                I had kept uptodate with the BOM until December.....so I still need to attach the top and bottom borders, finish the applique where there were overlaps and of course quilt.

                Happy New Year to all of you! Kitty.
