I had DH bring a very big box to the house and I was going to use it as my mini "spray booth" to spray baste the back of the plate and center. I did one this way and I liked it but I wonder if there are other ways?
Well I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend. I sure am!
Not a stupid question. If you go to the tutorial, that may help you understand how I did mine, though others have just as good luck with their methods. You may want to put the leaves under the plates and then as you stitch the plates down, you will catch the leaves. I did a little dab of elmer's glue stick to hold mine in place till I was ready to stitch them down.
