I didn't put up pics....
And-there are no stitches in it yet--it's just ironed and stuck. I'm going to try your ideas! I'll let you know what happens.
I must confess... after getting the first one so far, I had a moment of bold confidence, so went in and placed the next heads and chests and ironed those babies tight! THEN, I remembered I needed to have the fringe (manes) UNDER the parts BEFORE ironing them. So--I scratched them up just half an inch in order to get the manes under, then reironed. It worked. Now this! I need a tearing out hair smiley!
Ugh. I have the Splash of Fall project started--maybe I should switch to that!
