Thanks guy for the response. I suppose I am old school as well since I start in the middle too. I am good yet with stitching backwards (meaning from bottom up) although I'm working on it. Right now I'm working on "mermaid of atlantis" and I still don't have a face yet, since it's a bit tricky with her being placed awkwardly to the side. I just wanted to make sure that I can fit everything on the fabric that I have. I'm a little bit out of the loop, but can anybody tell me what "Q-snaps" are? Hope everybody's having a great sunday!
