Background is all threadwork! A great way to use those huge florals we have been collecting for years. Fun to do, and an exciting workshop. I wasn't too keen on the repositional glue, she uses. It gums up the machine. Back to old fashioned paste for me. The paste is like starch. It relaxes the fabric and makes it easier to turn the edges. The repositional stuff is like plastic and doesn't do that. Also not sure I like the Sulky Totally Stable interfacing (fusible like freezer paper with iron), any better than freezer paper. She removes it at the end of the stitching.
