If you adjust the lace on them just right, it will make the block easier to do....LOL!

Didn't have any suspenders so I hope they don't fall off!!!! :shock: :shock: I have two sections finished and about half of a third. WOW!!! This is painful!!!! I'm having the hardest time getting all that fabric under those itty bitty points! ARGH!!!!!!! :evil: I've checked through applique lessons, but of course, they don't show such narrow points as these. :? I can do the points just fine on leaves, but on these little buggers, they are just so-o-o-o-o-o narrow that when I turn the fabric under, I get a lump. :thumbdown:

I did too Patty. I started turning it under, carefully creasing it, then releasing it and trimming out as much as I could from underneath. I'm not sure if you are needleturning though. I think its easier to trim out some bulk if you use freezer paper. But I'm surely no expert!! :shock:

Thats me Losie...I'm determined to learn to do this totally "by hand" with none of the great tools that are out there to help us along. Why?? I have NO idea, but I just want to do it that way.

I think it is a challenge and a love for learning new tricks. I watched a tute on youtube and she does points in a totally different way. I may try this method.
