    This is a link to a Joann store for a pack of 12 sheets....9 x 12 inches......$10.99. I am sure that you can also purchase by the sheet also at some stores.
    I cut the felt just slightly smaller than the card and insert it before the back is sewn on. As I mostly machine embroider mine it is still very much the same process as Judith mentioned.
    Thank you Betty J. This newbie is grateful for any and all tips. I'm home bound much of the time but I do get out once a month for dr appts and I always try to pick up what I need. My list for next week is growing!

    My post card has been ready to mail for a while. I just haven't been to the post office, etc etc etc... Mumble... mumble... I did use my sawing machine to get tile cut for my husband as he tiled our bathroom. That was about 4 days. Then 2 of my DGDs wanted to make post cards, too. So they did. But they didn't address them. Well, finally! today I got them to address them and we are ready to go. I just have to make it to the post office some how.

    My post cards seem to turn out wonky. They either don't lay flat or they go crooked when I sew around the edges.

    GramE, I received my postcard. I love it. It's perfect. I love the 4th of July vibe and the doggy on it. It's awesome.

    For your first postcard, I'd say you did really well! It's a winner in my book.
