I just saw this tutorial. If I had checked it earlier, maybe I would have continued with the flute. But I haven't done any applique before and everything was so tiny, I gave up. So it is just the books.

Thanks, i have a really stupid question, but you will have to forgive me for that. I tried an applique and it came out bigger than it needed to be so overlapped the next piece for example J8. What do I have to do to get the right size? Told you it was dumb!

Hi,

That's a pretty neat use for an old cd. :thumbup:

One question: Can you iron on the cd, or does the cd tend to melt or warp out of shape, if you iron on it? I do understand that the fabric would be covering the cd, but I think I might be afraid the cd might melt or warp??
