Oh, this is exactly why I love this board and all the wonderful people who share their knowledge and experience here! I would never have thought to iron it from the back side! For a quilter, I seem to be incapable of figuring things out on my own, but I enjoy the process anyway. For all of you with a mom, or sister, or aunt that is a sewist of any kind that taught you early, be sure to give them a big hug! It is just not possible for a class or tutorial or seminar to teach you everything that someone looking over your shoulder fondly can do.
What you said makes perfect sense! I am looking forward to putting into practice next week. Thanks so much!
