I agree, KCMom raises some very good suggestion to be careful. I would mount some fabric you wished you hadn't bought and start practicing on your new LA. Then cut it up into small sections, binding them and donate them to your local shelters. They are always in need of bedding for the animals they rescue. It will be a win win situation. You get some practice, purge some awful fabric from your stash and an animal will have something comfortable to lay on to take a nap!
