And I totally agree about the glue and stabilizer. I don't think it's a better method than the thread basting and card stock templates I've been using for the past couple years. But at least I tried it!Jenn @ A Quarter Inch from the Edgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06657846734631422153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580965803850912868.post-15139773756475018602015-08-29T17:40:02.123-05:002015-08-29T17:40:02.123-05:00I printed my templates on card stock so that I cou...I printed my templates on card stock so that I could reuse them. Not that I'm a pro at any of this, but I glue the template to the fabric with just a dab of glue (glue stick). I think it would make a great post! I'll do that after our Epic Block Hop!!

If I don't have a binding to sew on, I feel like I'm slacking in the evenings when I sit. I figure EPP will be a great alternative to sitting idle! The block alone, is pretty ho-hum! I just finished piecing the top and I'm thrilled with it!
