Wow...never would have thought of that! Wouldn't mind trying it out, but I'm not game to use my new whizzbang iron...I could see scope for major disaster!

That's what's been holding me back. I need a new iron then I will use the one I have now for that.

i think the parchment paper will protect my iron, but i don't like the way that particular stitching looks. i think i will double fold and topstitch in the contrasting color. the zigzag stitching looks wrong to me.
