Thanks, Juli!  I will have to stitch the edges (instead of merrowing) because 
the edges of the rockers are like a folded ribbon--stitching goes straight down 
before the end--to simulate a fold in the ribbon.  I know this doesn't make 
sense! The Merrow machine could not sew this detail w/out cutting through the 
patch.  If I do this detail w/ embroidery & then merrow the outside edge the 
stitches won't match. When I've made small patches before I used a very heavy 
solvy to add the satin stitch around the edge.  I've also tried using a 
tearaway backing, but that leaves kind of fuzzy edges that I have to spend time 
trimming.  Do you think the washaway/tearaway backing would work for the final 
step of adding the satin stitched edge? Thanks!  Dianne
