On the back you put a line down the middle and I write postcard top center. Then take it to the postoffice to mail. If there are embellishments on it, you have them handstamp which is a little more money. I got a gorgeous beaded postcard and it arrived perfectly without an envelope!!!
    how interesting! i have followed the quilted post cards ideas in magazines & forums for several years. you are the first person who has offered comment on actually mailing/recieving them. guess i need to try a couple! thanx for your response. i enjoyed your blog post on these and the making of them. very nicely illustrated & explained.

    I us a Juki-domestic machine and I go slowly on the feathers. Not super slow, but slow enough to see what I am doing. I have considered doing a little video to show how I do the feathers, but not quite sure how to do that!!!

    Oh, that would be very interesting. Maybe a youtube video. I don't have a clue on those but sure do find them useful, as well as, very helpful.

    I have to ask. Doesn't the stamp come off? That's been why I have never tried it!
