quickly and accurately. There are free pdf charts to download on their web page
to help with measuring. She has also done a YouTube video.
She also told us about a product made by Acorn called Easy Pressing that
she uses it on the seam to press them flat.
Debbie showed how to do Apliquick applique using an iron on
lightweight foundation fabric interfacing.
It can be written on both sides to reverse the pattern.
There are some wonderful serrated edge scissors, a couple of metal rods for turning
the edges and a glue to hold the edges down.
There are precut hexies available that iron on and don't have to be removed..
They brought with them some great prizes that were given to those whose names they drew.
Thank you Debbie and Ina!
