I didn't know that you can make swirls without dropping your dog feet. Do you have to fight with the dog feet or does it go like it would if they was dropped. My daughter wants the swirls but I didn't think I could do it because of the dog feet. So you do the swirls with the dog feet up? And if I can cover them...what do I cover them with?

Welcome from North Carolina! We are glad you are here! My grandmother made me, my sister and brother 5 quilts each and hand embroidered our names in them. I treasure them.
