Reverse Applique Horse
Well, I decided to take a little break from the big project and play with a little reverse applique for the first time...I actually think I like it! I made this for my granddaughter's riding instructor for her birthday.
The only problem I had was the top stitching...does anyone else have trouble stitching on batik? I had more thread breaks, even after changing needles, cleaning bobbin area, etc...just kept shredding that doggone thread (cotton top & bottom).

Were your bobbin and top threads the same weight? I used same weight thread for bobbin and top thread to piece. When I started quilting with a heavier weight thread using the same needle, top thread started breaking a lot. When it finally dawned on me to change to a larger needle, everything was fine.
I like your horse. Reverse applique is fun to do.
