Love, love the bowl fabric - nice choice!!!!Piece...
I have a question. I got Elmer's school glue---washable, no run (black label). Is that the right kind? Do I glue the first piece a little bit to start sewing?
Lo - thanks for asking. You were the only Mama to not get to the glueing step. Yes, that's the correct kind of glue. Does it have the orange adjustable nozzle cap? If so, get out your iron & ironing board. Do not add any water to your iron. Turn it to medium high heat. While it's warming up. Position your fabric shape onto your background block. See if it "fits." Remove your applique shape from your background, take your Elmer's glue & gently squeeze a THIN line of glue about 1/4" below your penciled draw line. Next, put your applique piece in place. Now, heat set it to dry the glue & hold the shape in place. READY to stitch!!! if you're not happy with placement, gently "pop" the applique piece from background & repeat the process. OK, does that make sense?
Thanks, Pam. I'll give it a try.
Hey girls! I've actually won something. Not quilting related but who cares. I won some nail polish from my Fantasy Fashion League swag boutique. Go check out my name on the website www.swagbagboutique.blogspot.com. My senior's graduated, my freshman's passed, and I've won some nail polish. All is right with the world.
Just found out that I'm an author also. Go check out my book on Amazon..."Low Fat and Loving It, How to Lower Your Fat Intake and Still Eat the Foods You Love".
