[HNW] 18th century quilted petticoat

[Sue Clemenger]

Carolyn, have you thought of using masking tape to mark the straight 
lines for your stitching? I've done it for quilts with tops too "busy" 
to mark in diagonal lines.  Heck, these days you can even get the stuff 
that doesn't leave a sticky residue behind.
Good luck!
