Seams standing up

sound rude,
why'd you embroider on twill?)"

Not likely that I will be using twill again, especially with 1/4"
intersecting seams. The embroidered blocks are white and the sashing
is red meaning I needed to press all of the seams to the sashing side.

I used twill because this was my first embroidery project, had no idea
what I was doing, and took the advice of some lady working in the
embroidery supply shop.

I've learned a lot.

I've hand sewn through fusible and glue stick glue. I'll never try to
sew through fusible again, but the glue stick was easy to sew through.
I use glue sticks to position my applique pieces for both hand and
machine applique. I love that I don't have to worry about pins
anymore.

Problem solved. I did not try the hammer or the 2x4 tricks but opted
for the glue. It worked!

Thanks for the help.
