I do mine on an old carpet on the floor, and it works great. The carpet holds the bottom fabric in place so there is usually no puckers to deal with.Jocelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02714577523744715551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32363339.post-3162320215756500662019-02-26T12:36:46.936-07:002019-02-26T12:36:46.936-07:00Love the pineapples.

Glad you could regroup and keep it moving.

I'm hoping to run my smaller scraps through my 1.5" strip die and then use them for blocks like these.Catholic Bibliophagisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10697706672495544901noreply@blogger.com
