I wish I had waited to see the comment about thinner batting. I've finished quilting my miniature and just need to finish handsewing the binding. There are definitely a few spots that are "poofier" than I would like, but I found if I "quilted" through them without thread I was able to punch the fibers down some. My final question is do you wet and block your miniatures? I have never blocked something and it is really shaped and sized correctly as it is, so I don't really want to mess with it.<br/><br/>Lisa Thanks for the timely tips.

However, I'm not a patient quilter, I need to see fast improvements. I guess between the problems with not seeing as well as before for small things and patience, I better stick to large quilts. I do enjoy reading your blog though. Thanks for the tips of small quilts. However, I’m not a patient quilter, I need to see fast improvements.
