LOL, Pat, sounds similar to what I do, I guess it is the "in" technique, lol, only I am doing all of that even before I get to my background fabric since I pre- turn under, LOl, so I get to tuck and poke (I even use the small screw driver that comes with my machine,lol) both at the ironing board and the sewing machine, twice the fun for me :mrgreen:
