Great maybe I'll do that too as my embroidery machine has been kind of cranky lately, I think it needs a good cleaning lol, and not able to at this time. Thanks

I was quite impressed with the printable fabric. I'm curious to see how a picture will come out on it.

just make sure you get the washable fabric, I picked up the dry clean only fabric, so I think I'm just going to pick up some freezer paper and do my own fabric

So be sure to give feedback on the choices, if you hate they're gone lol.


it's neat to see all the interpretations; jump-starts MY brain, too, thinking of what we might receive to work on down the line.
...and Australia has tropics! *grin*

is there anyone else who does NOT want to see their row b4 it comes back to them? Me, personally, I want to see mine as it progresses, I want the pictures so I can do a scrapbook of my very first Row Robin. Make sure you send a NOTE or add it to your JOURNAL if you DO NOT want to see your top as it progresses. Mailing time is getting close. Get with your "send to" partner to see if there are shipping preferences. My initial plan is to send in a small box with delivery confirmation, with minimum insurance. Some may want signature confirmation (if they have a problem with proper mail delivery), anyway don't forget to communicate with the one you are receiving from (ie: questions regarding the row you've just received), the one you are shipping to (ie: questions regarding the rows you are sending, any problems you had that might be an issue for others also) and of course the originator of the row that you are actually working on (ie: questions regarding the vision they have for their row or the direction they want it to go in) and ladies don't forget to read the journals and notes (if sent) reading first could save problems later lol. Also write in the journals or add notes, even if it's just your name. Sign the labels, if sent, if individual siggie blocks are sent, feel free to take ONE.
Happy Row sewing

Okay, just walk out of PO. Get ready Robbi. Since it was my own row I just sent it with delivery conformation. I will get ins. on everyone else's row. I have to send my labels seperate because I looked and the printable fabric was dry clean only. I wanted Robbi to have it for the weekend so I just shipped the row and journal.

What procedure is that? I'll have to do that to mine.

I rebought mine today, because the ones I hd gotten were dry clean only, the new ones you have to Heat set with an iron and then rinse in cool water and lay flat to dry, dab up excess water and then heat iron again (no steam)and then they should be good to go, I have done step 1 will do the rest tomorrow

I'll have to go get some washable kind too. I already sent my row. I told Robbi that I would send my siggy blocks seperately so she doesn't have to wait.
