    You just gave me an idea to use some of the things that I have that my mother did.

    I have a lot of them I learned to do in my teens. I found a box of patterns a few days back that had a lot of them. Now I am thinking of doing more as I always loved them.

    Look for the super easy tutorial around Aug 20th. Forgot to say, I bought this at a rummage sale for $1.00. My technique secures the fragile, thin fabric without quilting through it around the design...unless you want to :0) It is flexible enough to use with any vintage textile, regardless of size of design.
