Does any one know how to use up the thread snips? Have a turkey pattern but no instructions. Please help.

You place the thread snips between the two layers of WSS (water soluable stabilizer) stitch the design - it is FSL, I am assuming - then cut around close but not too close to the stitches - then you rinse in hot/warm water - making sure that it isn't too slimy and as much of the WSS if gone - then lay flat and dry - you should have a lovely ornament.

This picture isn't mine - but one from Miss Lil from a few years ago.

Thank you. I sort of had it figured out, but wasn't sure.

I have also done it with angels and Christmas trees that are FSL. There is one by Sunni that is designed for thread snips - it is called Sunni's thread angel. Sorry, I don't have the link. But you could do it with any FSL that is not too dense. I think it looks best if you add some metallic thread in with it
