I have a Marti Mitchell one that you can hardly see the name it is so tiny. For those, I have to cut wider and some I will sew leaving the fringe exposed on the outside! I love that look of the fringe on the outside in some projects. You just have to consider the way it's being used and then decide the sewing method. For a project that would get lots of handling like a sunglass case, I would sew all strips with at least a 1/4" seam. Some projects only need 1/8" seam. Some would need the fringe exposed. Some would need overlapping as they are so tiny and some would need to be mixed with plain fabric strips to give variety and color! So glad you want to save some now and create something beautiful!!
:-D :-D

I do mine a bit different. I just lay one over the other and sew.....fast and easy. I do use a foundation so that they stay firm and secure. Once they are all sewn, I can then square them up or cut however I wish.
I have been having so much fun with them that all my friends that were saving for "me" are now saving for "themselves"....LOL! I think I've lost something here....
