    Default plastic pockets for pictures

    I thought I'd seen somewhere how to make a wall hanging with plastic pockets so you can change the pictures. I want to make a wall hanging to be raffled at a 50 year class reunion and thought it would be nice to have some pockets so people could personalize. Now I can't find the instructions and hope someone on the board remembers where it was located.

    Thanks for helping.

    I used the clear plastic used for tablecloths. If you don't have a non stick foot, put a piece of tissue paper between the plastic and your machine foot so it doesn't stick. I also used al longer stitch

    Nonstick foot, or tissue as previously posted. You want the longer stitch so you have fewer perforations in the plastic to minimize tearing. Also, go slowly! You only get one try, because the stitching holes won't go away.
