Dear Jane - OK, OK I got bitten by the bug!

Such fun, but so glad my machine has a straight stitch plate and 1/4" straight stitch pressure foot and my beloved IDT! And STARCH.

Fun fabric choices! I find starching is a must for me too; I'm partial to Best Press brand. I love the fresh crispness it provides and if your block turns out a little wonky the startch can help with precise sizing.
