I have my blocks done however I didnt do a good job of centering my writing and I have come to the conclusion its not easy to write on fabric once you start you are commited to the direction. Made me want to run out and buy one of those embroidery type machines where you can just set it and let it do the work. Since I dont have the funds for that.. I was going to send the ones I have made but am unsure. Its the best I can do freestyle writing. Sharon if you judge them to be inadequate my feelings won't be hurt. I really didnt think it would be so hard to center and write straight on the fabric. I hate tossing them and starting over because I used premium fabrics so they would be good quality. What should I do??

Jenniky, try ironing a small piece of freezer paper to the back of your white center. It will help stabilize the fabric and the writing will be easier. That's what I did. I want one from you for sure!

Jenniky, I am embroidering the names on my own an two daughters, my sisters AND two QB friends. It's actually teaching me this function on my machine (and patients). Like...using stick-on stabilizer gums up your machine needle. I have wipe it down with alcohol after each square. Some of them aren't centered but I'm trying my best. So don't feel bad. I think your block is great and will add to the charm of the collection. <3

Jenniky, I like yours. A little off to one side is unique. So please just send them on to us.
