Whatever you have the guests sign you will need to be supervised by more than just one person.
Hints:
- Assign this task to people who have at least tried it and are aware of how to help others.
- Have lots of extra material because no matter how you explain it some folk mess up their signatures and will want a do-over.
- Have plenty of reverse templates and clipboards to hold the templates and material.
- Have several of whatever type pen you choose. many guest will actually try to use their own pens and that can cause a big schmear on your quilt top.
- Have a container for the unsigned material and another for the signed material.
- You might want someone to coordinate the guest list with the signatures obtained.
- If someone you love cannot attend you might want to mail them the needed items so you can have that signature ... ie: great grandma is still living but can't attend. Sorta of material skype but not really.
Reverse templates [my term] are something like file folders cut to size with a frame cut out so that the signature will be within the open area. If the reverse template file folders are the same size as the material there is no hassle centering the fabric correctly. Then the guests just have to sign in that open area.
Happy Day to you.
