i made that pattern also and yes it is difficult to sew all of those layers together. i am waiting to try sewing it on my singer 301a and see if that helps. my sewing machine kept skipping stitches. i am going try it with a thinner batting the next time. i used warm & natural along with insulbrite. when making regular mitts, i had no problems but with the muffin top sewing it to the bottom for the cupcake one, i had all sorts of problems.

you may also try gluing the two layers together before sewing to see if that stops the slipping. i had that idea after i finished mine. haha.

[QUOTE=mscupid804;5145156]OFF TOPIC: I just made a cool cupcake oven mitt but it looks wonky because it kept slipping on me. It was 3 layers thick of batting and the front and back piece and I always have problems with small projects like that where there's batting involved. I'd show a pic but am ashamed at how it looks, any suggestions on how to keep it nice and steady??? It was also THICKER when I had to join the 2 pieces (9 total) together!! I think my problem comes when I have to sew 2 separate pieces together instead as ONE WHOLE unit.[/QUOT

Teresa-
Don't know if this will work but I read it somewhere...suggestion was for things like this to use a jeans/denim needle...never tried it myself, although I am going to pick some up and try it myself.

it's not different. the birth certificate that you order from the records division of your local government will have a seal on it, which is the certification being referred to. what you cannot bring is a xerox copy of a birth certificate, it has to be an original. when i took my father on a cruise to a bahamian resort (about 5 yrs ago), all i needed was to get a copy of his birth certificate from the city government. if i had to get him a passport, he never would have been able to make the trip as he was very ill at the time.
