I've watched a couple of DVDs that came with mags but may need to do so again when I come to tricky bits like the points on the umbrella.

Apart from the little cherries I've had really good results I think. I could do with a smaller iron though, my one is too cumbersome for such fiddly work. Maybe one day I'll invest in one of those little Clover ones.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16193128554156253674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704756198346975611.post-67194590789355564372011-11-22T19:23:00.632+11:002011-11-22T19:23:00.632+11:00so am I - have always just blanket stitched aroun...so am I - have always just blanket stitched around. Someone put a link to using freezer paper on the top and it made it look so easy. I'm thinking of trying it. Need to get a move on, I have finished some other sewing so I might go trace and do some hand stitching while I watch tv tonight.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12595967763165696837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704756198346975611.post-63285464018842677372011-11-22T14:17:30.392+11:002011-11-22T14:17:30.392+11:00Same here... teaching myself and surfed every webs...Same here... teaching myself and surfed every website I can find on needleturn and even brought a book with a cd just to make sure! :o)Sharon - Lilabelle Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17057515833969118954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704756198346975611.post-52904658454324706612011-11-22T13:55:44.743+11:002011-11-22T13:55:44.743+11:00I am - I think I have looked at every web site tha...I am - I think I have looked at every web site that has anything to do with needleturn..........LOLAnnie Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02946660574984289908noreply@blogger.com
