This is one creative gal – and I am honored to introduce and guide her into creativity with fabric!

I'm trying to see a comforter and the problem comes in when attaching the thick braided cording. I can't get it close enough to just show the cord on the right side. I have pictures of it on my page. Can you help me??

Have just watched the You Tube video you did on trying Texture Magic as I have been researching it to do an article on it in the Bags Channel. I went and looked on your website to see if there were any examples of you using it for collars etc but just found the product itself. I am posting the article this Friday and would love to add pictures if you have any.
