Cathie....I just happened upon this looking for ways to use up charm squares....can't take the credit for it, but I forgot to save the link....I see stuff and think yeah I can do that....I look at so much stuff on the net...it's a wonder I get any sewing done, thanks for the hugs :D :roll: :D
Gail...When I am handpiecing, I do 3 or 4 running stitches, then a back stitch, and if you knew that you would be cutting thru whilst creating the D9patch you could reinforce the area to be cut with extra back stitches to strengthen it until it was restitched I suppose...just a thought :D
