Clear as mud?

Thanks!
Suzanne

Just make a casing around the top of the thread catcher and slip a 3/8" piece of firm plastic into the casing. Could use template plastic or a piece of a whipped topping bowl, etc.

I have cut a strip off a milk carton (gallon size) it works good

I just use the strapping that comes on boxes. The furniture store was glad to give me some also got some from local Hardware store they just consider it garbage! Works like a charm!

So glad you like them. Cupcakes are so easy to make. The hardest part is finding the silicone bases. :thumbup:

Several people have asked if I plan on another pincushion swap soon. I am going to be very busy with my quilt guild's quilt show and I do not want to spread myself to thin so I am going to take time out until after the show in May. If anyone out there is interested in taking over it will be great so those who still want to swap pincushions will have the opportunity. I will be glad to tell you what I did to get the swap organized, just send me a pm. Thanks everyone who have participated in the four swaps. I think everyone have made new friends and received some very special pincushions.

Barb, thank you for hosting these swaps so far, and look forward to you coming back after May. Have a wonderful time with your guild. Unfortunately there's too much going on over here,so I'm unable to offer to do this.
