Oh my Goodness!!!! That is the one that belongs on my wall. Go to Legendofthedragonfly.com and read the story. It is just spellbinding. Evidently my link isn't good might try to BING the Legend of the Dragonfly. Sweet story, and it has made me do a lot of dragonflies

A 4 mm double needle will just nicely sew the edges of the commercial 1/4" bias tape. No trick, just a bit of patience to get started. Very easy to do.
