So, any input would be helpful! I love alot of the blocks, &, it's a beautiful book, so am just looking for ways others have done them, or if they have tried her rubber cement method. Thanks!
I use the freezer paper method I like to use the liquid Sta flo starch (Walmart) I use q-tip to apply on the seam allowance and use small iron press and then remove the paper you have a nice crisp edge for your applique. I often teach this technique students love it.
Give it a try.
