LOL I know what you mean. They never slow down.

When I signed mine, I tried fine sandpaper and didn't like it, it seemed to make the pen drag and skip. I discovered by accident that the backside (the non-skid surface) of my rotating Olfa mat worked better for me. I took the mat off and set it aside, turned the bottom part over and clipped it a clipboard, and then clipped a siggie block on top of it.

Another method...
I have a flannel board (small) that I use for block lay-out. I took the block off, and set my siggy block on the flannel board. It did not move, and I was able to sign with no problems.

The method use that seems to work is masking tape. I just apply masking tape to back of fabric and sign. I remove tape of course before heat pressing my signature. I like using the masking tape because they are reusable.

I'll definitely try this way next time!

OK...hope no one will kill me. I made 100 and by the time I squared them up, trimmed seams (dumb me trimmed of the printed triangle on more than one occassion) :oops:and signed my blocks only 84 passed inspection.

I have a busy time a work and family obligations this weekend so do not think I can get any more done. (Not to mention. my ADD, I just can't bring myself to make anymore.) :shock:
So into the mail today will go 84 blocks. I figure some is better than none.

Don't worry. We all are sending in what we can. Some have sent as few as 12, if their postings are correct.
