Not long ago there was a discussion about quiltsmart -- the product that lets you make complicated patterns by a combination of flip and stitch and fusible backing. I just want to go on record as saying these are NOT idiot proof.
I've always wanted to make a Texas Star. I'm from Texas and I love the look. So I broke down and bought the "little bitty" Texas star in the quiltsmart line. The whole thing will be about 18 inches across when it's finished. If it's finished. Let me assure you, points do not all match, lines do not all line up and yes, I did stitch faithfully on the lines.
The problem is the same problem I have with paper piecing. Something in the flip and stitch action triggers a massive gap in my brain and my hands. It just does not work. As miserable as unstitching a seam is, it's nothing compared to unstitching a seam that's adhered to fusible backing.
So, I may just bull on and get it done. Probably. I've already cut all the little rectangles of fabric and I have no idea what I'd do with them otherwise. ...... maybe confetti.
