Purple Daisies are very expensive and the cots dont actually sit on the fingers as well as what Sue Nickels uses - dishwashing gloves' finger tips!! She buys the yellow dishwashing gloves in a size smaller than you would want on your whole hand and cuts off just the tips. Haven't tried that one yet either, but I did take a class from her and she [who is a magnificent quilter] swears by them.

He thinks its a new goofy habit..I guess it is, it happens when I am sewing scrolls. Thank goodness he doesn't know how to run the vidoe recorder!

Thats a great idea about the gloves...I don't know about using the latex gloves...my box is 1 size fits all and the tips are too big for my fingers so I bet they won't stay on. I'll have to get the samll size of the yellow dishwashing gloves at the Dollar store and try them.

I have a quick question. I have never appliqued on a dark background fabric. I am planning to use black, but am having trouble transferring placement marks to the black so i know where to put my pieces. This is a relatively new experience for me, so any help will be greatly and gratefully appreciated!!

Maureen, you might want to use a light box of some sort to transfer the design. That is what most of us have done. There are lots of ways to improvise one if you don't have one. I personally use my big square ruler balanced between 2 chair seats with a lamp placed on the floor underneath. Then you will want to tape the pattern down, then tape your fabric down on top and trace your pattern onto your background. Hope that helps.
On another note...I finally was able to watch Sharon's video. Thats a great idea to do the innie points. I'll be trying that. I don't know about using that foundation as I really really want to just be able to "master" the regular needleturn technique.
