I have not gotten them wet (to my knowledge)...they have been sitting on the end of my ironing board and I pre-washed the fabric...so any ideas of what to do? I'm afraid that if 2 have done this, the other 9 of the same fabric will also... :evil: :cry:
I'm going to dig some scraps out of the garbage and run them under water to see what happens. I can't figure this one out :?
Oooh nooo!! I am sorry!!! I wonder what happened to make it run like that. Maybe cause it was so red?? I've had blue and red homespun that I prewash then sewn and my fingers were blue and redish. I don't know if they just put so much dye in these or what. There is still a bit on the bed of my machine that you can see and I've cleaned it more than once.
I've got to say that everyone's blocks look so wonderful!! Ya'll have done such beautiful work! I can't wait to get one of them!!
After seeing kosmos applique', I wrote her and she gave me beautiful instructions on how she did hers.. so I'm redoing all my appliqued (e-10) cause I'm just not happy with them at all.
Here's one of them and I've only got 34 more to do! *L* but at least they'll now have a point to them instead of some rounded/squared/whatever tip.. Again, Thank you so much kosmos for your directions.. :-)
