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...

I wanted to finish the QST for last week, and although they were cut, I hadn't sewn them until today. Laura speaks abut a 'leader' and Margo calls it a ' Startie-Stoppie", but I call it trouble. I have to lift my presser foot to get the needle to go into the 'real' fabric, and even though using the startie-stoppie - it doesn't work like I see that it does for Margo or Laura.
Question? Do you use one, and does it really work? If so, what might I be doing wrong (especially on those 45 degree angles - impossible to chain stitich them, except I just reposition the new one without cutting the thread - does that count?)
Now, let's see if my signature comes up....

Thanks for all your instructional comments. I don't have a machine that automatically does 'needle down', I do that myself (like the olden days!) And as far as a knee thing, my mom's old old machine had that to make the machine stop and go instead of the foot pedals we use today. I inherited that machne, but don't generaly use it. Although a bit basic, I love my machine which my four sons chipped in together to buy for my 50th BD.!! It was a very big surprise!
I have found that the startie-stoppie works better with straight-on stitching than with going in on those angles like the 45 degrees on the edges of the triangles. I found an old dowel the size of a pencil, and I sharpened it in the pencil sharpener, and I use that to hold down my points when coming to the end of the pointed angle. Seems to work.
Thanks for all your help.
