K....don't load the gun just yet...I didn't use a stencil, but I did sew over paper.... :lol:

OK I have to try this paper lark! You draw or print out your design right? Regular copy paper? Then pin it to the quilt? Then FMQ round the lines? Or walking foot? Did I just say 'FMQ round the lines'? Me? yeah, right! :lol: Then tear it off and it doesn't rip your stitches out? :-D

That came out very nice! The only problem is that you'd have to kill anybody who actually tried to eat at the table without another placemat!

Patti.really very nice.......but I am not an "applique-er "....so I will put one together and send it to you for appliquéing!

Just kidding as I wouldn't be doing all the quilting you are doing either..I am an
"in the ditch-er".....or out to the quilter.

It really is so pretty.......mj

You have the right Idea...just not the right tools. You do draw or print the design, but you need to do it on a vellum or tracing type of paper...something thin and see through. You need to see through it to place it correctly...then you sew ON the lines, then you carefully tear the paper off and it won't rip your stitches.

:D I know you can do it!

And thank you ladies for the sweet compliments..it was a fun, quick and easy one actually! :-D (and I have extra placemats hidden under the topper :wink: )
