They're going to look stunning when they're finished. <br /><br />As I do a bit of patchworking I wouldn't be without my 1/4inch or stitch in the ditch feet. The 1/4inch foot does help toward getting them stitched accurately, though I still manage to get mine slightly out..... <br /><br />Give yourself a break then see how you feel about it after that. To build your confidence why not try a simpler design. I'd love to be able to quilt but it does take time, and a lot of patience (for me anyway), to get right. There are though lots of lovely 'straight' line designs you could use.<br /><br />Good luck with the wedding dress. Brings back memories of when I made mine 20 years ago.... xxGertiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05224392726925128089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1373799159776942388.post-57816296300549359542015-03-30T08:14:30.017+01:002015-03-30T08:14:30.017+01:00Argh autocorrect!
