LOL - I just can't get the picture of that cow wanting her belly scratched out of my mind! What a wonderful thing :D
Another thing you can use from a Smart-N-Final - kinda place is sandwich wrapper papers. You know, the paper they wrap burgers in? It is great to use for paper piecing, tears off easily. To put your pattern onto them, just trace it onto one, then staple a bunch together with the pattern one on top & run it thru' your machine with no thread, sewing along all the lines with a basting-length stitch.
Uh oh, that cow is back again! :wink:
