Karen, I baste the pieces to the block right thru the paper. I have really found that it doesn't take very long and is worth the time doing it. It keeps things in place, no pins to catch the thread on and the fabric turns under better with the paper in place.
WOW Carla--this is gorgeous! Julierose
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I have twelve blocks finished! just need to keep stitching!
DeleteHow do you keep the paper on your block while you are working on it?
