Washing really made the texture and feel nicer and all the dropped loops line up nicely.<br /><br />If you are doing a lacey stitch you might want to pin it to stretch the lace out. I used to use those foam matts that you get for kids that lock together. Do be careful if you use pins not to get ones that rust, there are special blocking pins but I used the sewing pins labelled for weddings dresses as they are stainless.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11015042984164710930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3963273275836889601.post-41106365439091612822013-03-27T13:21:15.671+11:002013-03-27T13:21:15.671+11:00Beautiful!

I use powerpoint a lot at work and have used it for schematics and diagrams in my patterns but I really hadn't thought about trying to use it to make a logo, I was thinking more of the painting and photo type software packages but I'm not as good at using them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11015042984164710930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3963273275836889601.post-72187584523394454832013-02-02T20:28:43.970+11:002013-02-02T20:28:43.970+11:00I heard that PowerPoint was a good tool for making...I heard that PowerPoint was a good tool for making logos.
