Congratulations!! This looks much better than your first attempt. The starch idea worked great. I've only attempted one applique' quilt and I made it out of flannels. Next time I try applique' I'm going to use this method. Thanks for sharing. Good luck with the rest of your butterflies. Can't wait to see it done.

DotSimmons,
Your quilt is so pretty. I think you did a great job. I don't have the patients to work with satin. I have done things with it in sewing but that was hard enough - little more fudge room. My butterflies don't have as much detail so it was much easier to stitch around. Less curves. Thanks for sharing yours with me.

I was very impressed with the starch method. It works great. I bought the blue bottle of Sta-Flo like someone recommended. Although I will say that mine didn't stiffen like cardboard more like a firm magazine cover. Works like a charm and I have plenty left for the next time. Give it a try.
