And it is a little more of a hassle than just having them stick to the felt.

Once I could see what was happening, it was much easier.

I really do need one of those design walls, but I have no place to keep it up and no place to store it. When I made the last t-shirt quilt, I had to use our bed to lay everything on. At night I had to pick it up and start again the next morning. Finally I laid a sheet over the bed then at night I rolled everything in the sheet. Much better that way. In the morning, I just unrolled the sheet and everything was pretty much in place.

Does yours fold? Where do you store it when it isn't in use? By the way, I love the airplanes. I've been wanting to make one for my godchild who went from pilot (Air Force) to priest. Now my wheels are really turning. Thanks. Can't wait to see your work all completed. :thumbup:

No, unfortunately, it doesn't fold. And, it takes up a whole wall of my very small apartment.

It is just 2 big 4x8 sheets of pink foam insulation. I had to make do.
