quote //p.s. I agree with QKO about getting some cheap fabric to practice on. It's also a good way to get rid of some worn out or out dated cotton clothing. Cut it up, throw it away, no money lost, experience gained. Just cut the seams out first and use flat pieces of fabric. //quote
If it's good cotton clothing, why throw it away after you cut it up? Save it for quilting!! That's what our ancestors did!
