Sharon, the stitch outs were done on 100% cotton and linen fabrics using medium weight tearaway wash away as the stabilizer. This is also called as 20/20 Hollingsworth and Vose stabilizer. It washes away from the open areas but remains underneath the stitch outs so the embroidery is always stabilized. The panels are basically all the same size and the only time you have to be vigilant is when joining them together as that is done on the sewing machine. It is same as putting quilt blocks together. Each of the methods have a guide line for sewing so as long as you can do a straight stitch, the putting together is easy. Hope this helps. Hugs, Sadia Thank you friends for your comments.
