Eileen, Sharon Schamber uses her applique fouundation product for needleturn applique, and I think it's the same stuff as Ricky's Stable Stuff.

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?

I'm so glad you like it Margo. It was fun to do.
Linny, yes -- I used Lana wool thread to wrap around the baby rick rack. I loved the extra texture it gave to the piece.

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!

Ritzy, your block in wonderful and I think nobody else than you see "your thing". 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.

Ritzy Your block is beautiful, some berries scattered here and there might do the trick to balance it in your eyes, but it is just lovely as it is . Dorothy Suffolk UK

Ritzy,
I love your block! It looks very Victorian to me. Mine's a little off as well so ours can lean together

Thanks for the info on the Stable Stuff. I think I may just use it for the leaves because I have a heck of a time with points.ops:

OK, so here is what I did. I unsewed a couple of inches on each side of the top-center of the heart and then resewed them at the place they should have fallen. Then I added an extra leaf and three berries and I think I can live with it. I am still considering mistletoe but for right now I will live with it for a while. In the mean time I am working on the second block I am doing--it is also Christmas but I think it will just be a wall hanging size.
