Is this correct.

Margaret, I think anything goes, you can use a thin wadding, or timtex or any stiff stabilizer, you can bind the three layers as a quilt, or overlock the edges, all prior to folding into the zig zag.

I was just thinking.......(dangerous lol!!) Where the curved edge is .....if you made that bigger and left it as a point you could fold it down and use a stud to secure, then your scissors won't fall out making it great for transporting them to and from classes etc.......I will have to play again now with a bigger piece of paper lol!!!!!!!
