dlonna, I stitch mine - after I rinse them out - some designers suggest that you stitch them with it in - but I can't see where to stitch with the stabilizer in the way. You just do what you are doing - it sounds great to me. Hehehe! *4U
Thanks for responding - I was at a site you suggested, and they recommended stitching, then washing and shaping. I will do like I have, except I have started doing it by machine instead of by hand. Sure a lot quicker!
dlonna, hang in there sweetie, shirlene will be back - that is a certainty!!! She can't stay away for long, haha. Hugs and a flower for you.
