The directions had me marking each piece and then sticking a straight pin into both marks. They I was supposed to manipulate the material until the pin stood straight up (or out, never was sure). Did this once and it was a huge mess. I will try it again and pin the way you suggested. And I will definitely use my stiletto. Thank you!
