I think next time I might use a water soluable foundation and wash it once it is altogether and see how that works. I like your blocks though - always a great pattern for scraps!Evelyn aka Starfishyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12025353776081066815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25250099.post-81534023482828503952009-07-25T13:52:59.915-05:002009-07-25T13:52:59.915-05:00I've also heard of people using thin cheapo in...I've also heard of people using thin cheapo interfacing as a foundation.

And sometimes I will use fleece as backing without batting, or a very very thin batting, and you would get the lighter feel.Lori in South Dakotahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06065926474013911257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25250099.post-11398090179794923162009-07-23T09:38:39.362-05:002009-07-23T09:38:39.362-05:00Nice look.

If you feel you need more stability just use spray starch. It easily washes out later.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08535613151538197041noreply@blogger.com
