Ladies you have the best information, I am so thankful each of you replied for me.

I have the spray, with all of the business in my life, I totally forgot about it. I am going to take the pins out this morning and use that spray. I will starch both sides before I put it back together.

I will be using the walking foot, I haven't had this machine long enough to practice with the round foot. But the ideas of using thin cardboard to trace designs intrigue me, I may just be trying that on scraps to see what I can come up with.

I appreciate your help so much, and don't worry, I'll have a glass of wine and have a good time!
