I absolutely stink at ANY and all kinds of drawing, so I MUST have a guide line to sew on. That muscle memory stuff does not work with me. I am not a "doodler".

I am currently in the quilting process, and am using self adhesive water soluble stabilizer. Trace the design onto the stabilizer, peel the paper off, stick to quilt. Nice because it stays in place! I always wash my quilts as soon as they are finished, I like STARCH and have to wash it out anyways.
