Is the shading painted on?<br />I did a similar class with Mariya Waters a couple of years back. We also used monofilament but with a zigzag stitch. The thread is so fine that you can barely see it no matter what you do. Otherwise, the basic process looks the same.Granny Maud's Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14526026491886013457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6516557859503396142.post-13850294072914074402016-06-12T21:37:06.853+12:002016-06-12T21:37:06.853+12:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10784556776889859603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6516557859503396142.post-18468824355460842302016-06-12T10:56:09.200+12:002016-06-12T10:56:09.200+12:00Hi Wendy, I'm doing the same class but in the ...Hi Wendy, I'm doing the same class but in the evening! To the person who asked what stitch we used, Fyvie recommended a machine overlock stitch, or if you don't have that, a blind stitch. But experiment. Use normal thread in the bobbin and the monofil in the needle. It's my first quilt. Lots of fun!Lyndlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02074439380587418342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6516557859503396142.post-42220612813781474492016-06-12T10:00:23.796+12:002016-06-12T10:00:23.796+12:00Your new project looks beautiful - but much too fi...Your new project looks beautiful - but much too fiddly for me with my fat fingers!

The stitching is perfect. I agree with one of your other commentators wanting to know what stitch you used on your machine.<br /><br />also two other things:<br />1- what brand and weight of soluable paper did you use?<br />2- show us the finished block-I bet it is fabulous.<br />You did good!
