Creating Fabric Postcards....Some Points To Consider.

Here are some points to consider when making your fabric postcards.
1/ You are free to chose the size you wish to work with. It does not necessarily have to be the size of a postcard, it can be smaller or larger.
2/Use stiffening on the back as you do your inital sewing, hand or machine.
3/Once the design is finished trim down to required size and add a final layer of stiffening or fabric. You may consider using iron stiffening or adhere the final backing with Visoflix
4/Encase the edges with a satin stitch

A Handy Tip For Each New Sewing Machine Project

Each time you start a new machine sewing project or after 8 hours of sewing always start with a new machine needle. This way you reduce the chances of the needle becoming blunt and pulling the threads of your fabric. This is especially obvious when sewing lightweight fabric such as chiffon or silk.
