I've just never done it on this big of a scale. "Stiff Stuff" is not as thick and stiff as timtex but more like Peltex which is what I used for the mat technique. And it has a softness to it plus spring-back memory that I am hoping will make it easier to roll up to maneuver through the machine as I satin stitch the grout, machine stitch the flowing water and join various section.<br /><br />It's because it will be assembled in sections as I did in the sample, that I can do the main stitching on each piece before assembling. I just didn't want to have to quilt across what I want to read as smooth stone. We shall see! This is a bit of a grand experiement.The Idaho Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09979439849662755082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19193398.post-74400497719385926352015-02-12T05:59:00.242-08:002015-02-12T05:59:00.242-08:00Wow this looks complicated.

Plus I have never left areas that large without stitching. Could be you will have to stitch all the stones with invisible thread and then do the water with some hand stitching. But I guess that won't work since it would be hard to stitch through that interfacing. Sorry just thinking out loud. I am sure you will figure it out...
