This morning i have been quilting Jeanie's Asian wall hanging....Lots of Stitch in the Ditch and adding circles. The fabric is a shiny and bit slippery brocade so hanging onto the small circle template was not working out well....i started digging through my drawer of 'stuffs' hoping to find those round sandpaper dots...but not crazy about sticking them onto my circle template.
Well.....instead i spied Glue Dots!
What the heck, i'll test one out....OMG!!! Fabric stores need to start offering these!!! The Glue Dots stay on the template, but come right off the fabric when i'm done stitching the circle. I can
re-position the circle template over and over onto my fabric and once i'm finished quilting all the circles...it peels right off the back. No mess, no permanent sandpaper, no sticky residue.
I don't know why i even have these Glue Dots....or where i bought them, or what i bought them for.....but...OMG!! Glad i did!
Love this!! Where did you get them? Oh..I just noticed you didn't remember, I'll do my google research :o)
