Hi Janis, Thank You for your complement. I got the pattern form Better Homes and Gardens... Grandma's Best Full-Size Quilt Blocks.. I love this book. The Butterfly is just one piece of material and you mark the wings then sew them or embroider, I just satin stitch them. I love the effect the satin stitching does.

Yeah, that's what I was wondering. I want to do some satin stitching on the machine, but I was sort of confused as to those sharp corners. I guess it just takes lots of practice.

Well, it looks just amazing.

Well Ducky thanks Bunches, Actually it really itsn't that hard you just have to go slow sew 2 or 3 stitches turn applique a fraction stitch,turn,and so on. I go over the whole Applique twice. You have to remember to only go slow and sew a couple or 3 stitches depending on what it is,then turn a fraction. Sometimes I got in a hurry and you can't when you are turning like that.
