I love black and white too - so vivid :)<br />Angela - Thank you - that is a great idea, I like either stitch and I was thinking a black perle cotton floss you would look good and give a nice textured line.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18038128784679009759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7609978987977932197.post-88354892910843945952014-01-21T03:09:45.363-08:002014-01-21T03:09:45.363-08:00That is so creative Kim. I think you did a fabulo...That is so creative Kim. I think you did a fabulous job. I was thinking of a running stitch or even a chain stitch and let it ravel to the stitch. Either in white or black. The black would give it a very subtle raised look if you used a thicker stitch to outline. You could also use pinking shears as an easy solution. Whatever you decide, it will be fabulous.Angela Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08288387417097722899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7609978987977932197.post-90617902346625330262014-01-21T00:32:01.972-08:002014-01-21T00:32:01.972-08:00It looks very nice!

That is an excelle...Hi McEtty Charles - Thank you! That is an excellent idea - I am thinking that would be a wonderful fix - I had also considered a running stitch in floss around the edge. I will keep you posted!<br />Jules - Thank you - I never thought of glue or watered down glue. I am still trying to figure out the best glue to attach the fabric to the paper ;) <br />I pressed this yesterday with so much steam the fabric is still drying out! I have plenty of this fabric so I will try some tests. Thanks for the ideas!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18038128784679009759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7609978987977932197.post-243005088951554582014-01-17T03:31:02.793-08:002014-01-17T03:31:02.793-08:00I like the frayed edge look.

A very sweet project Kim.<br />I sometimes brush the edges very, very lightly with fabric glue, or watered down Elmer's glue, and allow it to dry thoroughly. If you use a light touch and don't oversoak it you can keep the fringe effect without more unraveling. I would do a test on a spare bit of of your fabric first though:).Sparklyjoolshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04933747988131010460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7609978987977932197.post-30887992229296084632014-01-16T19:17:41.970-08:002014-01-16T19:17:41.970-08:00wow! This is so nice...
what if you sew the edges ...wow! This is so nice...<br />what if you sew the edges of the fabric using a sewing machine, but not by all. I mean 1 inch from the edge of the fabric so you can still keep the fringed edge it leaves. :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05410691749903351010noreply@blogger.com
