A Tip Worth Sharing
Hi everyone, I've been plugging away at a DWR using Donna Jordan's tutorial and the templates from her shop. I saw a tip from the maker of these templates to lightly spray some 409 adhesive on the backs to make cutting even easier. (They provide grips for them but I still had slippage).
So........ after doing a bazillion cuts I found that tip and tried it. Works like a charm!
About this DWR- it DOES get easier as you go along. The pattern calls for a total of 12 blocks which is 48 segments
and I'm at 37 right now so I'm near the finish!
A challenging pattern for me but totally doable, especially with Donna's fantastic instructions. She's my favorite teacher.
So in case you haven't heard of this use for the spray I thought I'd share. It was new to me and I can see where a lot of templates would be good to use it with.
I can't wait to share the finished product!
