If I am making a machine pieced and machine quilted quilt to be used in the family room then I do not go to the lengths I would for some of my other quilts.Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06788501040456075846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2955311616182275105.post-57794610588654213972010-12-07T04:28:10.275+11:002010-12-07T04:28:10.275+11:00Good work finding the right product to help you wi...Good work finding the right product to help you with those tiny buds.
