i bought the hummongbird packdesign this morning and have started. can anyone tell me how to join it? Regards Carol

Clover makes a product called Quick Bias that is a fusible tape and you can purchase it in 1/4 width. It makes beautiful "stained Glass" looking quilts and worked well joining this design. I just zig zagged together first and then ironed on.;)

thankyou all and here are your flowers

Carol - that's feels weird, I feel like I've called you mollymarie for so long. Have a look at my hummingbird project, the link is below. It looks to me, by your avatar, that you have a Janome 300E, which means you can stitch the four designs in one go, if you have a giga hoop. If you need any more help, just *holler* in my direction, and I'll be more than willing sweetie, hugs and a flower, and have fun with the hummingbird, I know I did!

thankyou i have done it in 4 seperate pieces i will satin stitch or ribbon the window mot sure yet have one more to do tomorrow. will post when finished.

MollieMarie, Ruthie did that one and put it in the projects section when it first came out, and I think she described how she did it. She'll probably come and tell you soon. Good luck, it's surely beautiful!! Marji

I did one before of Lily of the Valley. I stitched the four pieces together and the did a narrow and very close satin stitch between the pieces and also all around. I left some border fabric around it and framed it. "ron111otter" has done some very very lovely ones. Hopefully she will come on and give you better ideas. I love that one to and I may even get it someday too. *4U ><>

I join mine together with a zig-zag stitch,and then I used to cover that with
satin stitch. But now I've discovered a
fusible tape, 6mm wide, so I just iron that on, and it gives it a perfect
finish. That way is quicker, and saves
a lot of thread.
