Sewing Tips from February’s Meeting: By Loretta Hunt

CORDING:
Make covered cording and piping to embellish bags, wall hangings, pillows, and
quilts. Instead of basting the fabric strips around the cord, stick the edges
together with a glue stick.

NON-SLIP
TEMPLATES: To keep your templates from slipping, use adhesive-backed sand
paper. Cut ½ inch wide strips from the sand paper and use a paper punch to
punch out little dots. You can also use scrap book punches to cut shapes like
butterflies, hearts and flowers.

DESIGN
BOARD: If you have used cotton batting
to cover your design board and it is covered with threads, you can place a
piece of freezer paper on the batting and iron. The thread will adhere to the
freezer paper. Now you have a clean design board.
