Frances vine fat (6) $12.00 USD
This vine is very similar to the Swirls one - but it has a bit of 'body' at the end of its tail.
It has a sister - one which is slimmer.
If one tries to force this vine into a smaller proportioned border/sash it looses any elegance it once had!

This type of design makes extremely short work of sashes - once you use this type of design, there will be no looking back!
These patterns are sold as a set - as it is great to always have the desired multiple right on hand.
Design Features
- quick and accurate placement of the pattern using the point to point function
- the main design elements/features will not stitch on top of each other when the pattern crosses or turns on itself (see illustration)
- points at 'cornerstone' intersections meet perfectly (and isn't this what is always noticed - especially if they don't!)
- corners are self-turning
- the pattern stitches out very quickly and accurately
- tie offs are reduced to a minimum.
As well as being able to stitch across the quilt in one run, if you are extremely smart, each trip across the quilt will also include some of the vertical sashings - so by the end of the quilt there will only be a couple of gaps to fill.
