Penny Barnes wrote these words on Apr 17 11 at 1:17 pmI haven’t tried this technique yet….but really want to!
Linda Daley wrote these words on Apr 17 11 at 1:19 pmI have tried using 100% cotton, cotton blends, and satin. The 100% cotton was the easier for me to manipulate, but then I may have been doing the others wrong. It is so neat to see the fabric form something entirely different right before your eyes! I would love to have this book!
