I wondered if you had any follow up comments now that several months have passed regarding this technique. Will it stand the test of time? It seems like it would be better for those patterns with curves and for those that have a lot of inset seams. You wouldn't have to bend the papers.

I think it is important to have as many tools in your EPP tool belt as possible! This stitch is also perfect for curves. Keep up the good work!

And I find once the papers are taken out the fabric relaxes and the stitches are virtually hidden, especially if the thread colour is matched. I learned to EPP from Sue Daley and she showed how it is possible to 'whip' three or four stitches before pulling the thread all the way through. This makes it very quick..... Anyway, I don't mean to upset the apple cart...Your Martha block is lovely!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00902546150683095705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1842721577085503845.post-39664692248937555632017-01-26T17:16:04.116+00:002017-01-26T17:16:04.116+00:00I'm going to have to try this!I'm going to have to try this!
