Because I do a lot of pressing and use starch, I mess up a cover quickly, so... I use obsolete fabric and just drape over the work surface and continue til its brown and place another piece of fabric over it It's another attempt at reducing my stash of fabric.
Just heard about locker hooking which utilizes fabric woven into latch hook webbing and secured w yarn Proponents of this method reccommend using quilt patterns for designing rugs Another way to reduce stash and use up leftover yarn from years of crochet.
