I am making a comforter for a 1 yr. old. I need a baseball bat. Cannot seem to find them. I also need 3 ballons applique. I looked but didn't like what I found. Not sure where else to look.

Thank you all so much. Yes, I got the balloons and the baseball bat, now all I have to do is put everything together.....LOL and finish up. I will take a pic when I am done. I am just worried when I sewe together with the batting, I am not going to sew straight...I hope it comes out ok. Anyone have any tips?

Baste and I'm pretty sure there are special feet (walking foot?)to help keep the layers from moving. I'm not a quilter so I don't have the best answers. Hopefully someone else will have a really good tip.

That's it sewmom. A Walking Foot is invaluable when you are quilting and most of them come with a guide that you insert in the side that lets you sew exact distances from the last sewn line.

Thank you so much, just went out and got a walking foot. Hope I can figure out how to use it...LOL.

Did you get your balloons yet? Not sure if they are applique, but you can take a look. They are free.
