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

When cutting out the applique pieces do you cut on the bias or straight grain of the fabric? I imagine it would make a big difference especially with smaller pieces. Niki Healy.

Hi Ricky, I'm having a difficult time drawing a decent looking skeleton. Mine all seem to be the same - Dull and Boring!! I think I could do a better job by sketching the drawing on the full sheet, and then folding the paper to refine it. Do you ever add or subtract lines after the skeleton is drawn and unfolded?
My latest (and best) skeleton is now on my profile. (If this is my best, you can imagine what the others look like!!) I welcome any comments from you or anyone else on how to improve my drawings.
Thanks a bunch, Sharon in TN (quiltnlady)

Also, Ricky, are you going to get some more Stable Stuff in the Shoppe? I think it's a great stabilizer for a lot of projects.
Margo
Regarding Stable Stuff. There was a switch in the manufacturing proces and I put a hold on the product until it is corrected. Once it is available again, I'll let you all know. Until then... sorry.

Yes, I do erase, and reivse when I like MOST of the design, and realize a coulpe of simple changes would be in order.

Ricky, thanks so much for your advice. I don't have your book yet, so I'm sure when I get that, many of my questions will be answered.
pattisure, thanks for your comment about the American Gothic. It just 'hit' me one day when I was watching the pictrues scroll on the home page. I'm just a 'wee bit' weird!!

Sharon, while I haven't made a Rhapsody quilt I must agree your skeleton is fine. Ricky's right about the lines heading toward the corner, there ends up being too much of a break in the flow of the border of the quilt.
Have fun with this and remember this is a practice piece. I can't begin to imagine how many practice pieces Ricky must have made before being happy with one...it's always a process and each quilt has something for us to learn.
One last thought, we are our own worst critic thinking everything has to be just so. I'd tell you to relax & enjoy the process however I'm not sure that would be particularly helpful.
Happy Quilting!

Thanks, Terri, I know I should relax and enjoy, but just like you said, I'm my worst critic. My husband tells me that all the time. Maybe I should just buy a ream of paper and several sharp pencils and lock myself in my sewing room!! It's fun to see how the design evolves when you get the entire design finished.
I'll probably dye my own fabrics, too. Is anyone else doing that? I have this 'thing' about doing everything myself (a little like a 2 year old - 'I do byself'!!) I'll need help with colors also. Actually, what I need is a kit!
I appreciate everyone's comments and suggestions.
Take care everyone, Sharon in TN (quiltnlady)Teri

Hi, Ricky!
I am still getting used to this whole forum deal...posted my question in the wrong place. I wanted to know what you do with the left over fuzed fabric that you have (like the handle for the basket) and how do you store it? I live in a tropical climate & I am really stingy about my little bits and pieces and try not to fuze too much at one time. Thanks so much. Karen
