I would use some sort of iron on interfacing before you cut it out. When I did these on the bag...which by the way will most likely be the only one ever made because it took 2 hours just to put the circles on....I used the double zigzag stitch. Or the super stretch feature on my machine. What kind of machine do you have?cindygerthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17174645926035943427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20042750.post-53727256460707625422008-12-11T22:16:00.000-05:002008-12-11T22:16:00.000-05:00P.S. Any tips on sewing zigzag edges around circles (as you did one of the purses here)? Unless I sew at a pace slower than a snail, mine turn out all wonky...Karinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03180639647099463491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20042750.post-68072963510789192002008-12-11T22:11:00.000-05:002008-12-11T22:11:00.000-05:00Hi Cindy-- So sorry to hear you're not feeling well. But as always, these two most recent bags are real beauts! And I wanted to tell you I finally saw the "Mommy and Me, and Me, and Me" purses, shown in <A HREF="http://www.cindygert.com/2008/10/too-cute.html#links" REL="nofollow">this</A> and <A HREF="http://www.cindygert.com/2008/06/gifty-goodness.html#links" REL="nofollow">this</A> post. Seeing your purses online here is one thing; seeing them in person is above and beyond! The other ladies and I there that day at Karee's were just oohing and aaahing over each one.<BR/><BR/>AND I love the new look -- the green, the fabulous sub-title, the picture Kristy took of you -- you look fabulous!!!<BR/><BR/>How I wish I could come help you out (and watch you do your magic on those old sweaters and belts). Instead, I'm sewing away on Christmas gifts and other stuff here in MN. I finally resuscitated my blog after 5 months of downtime. You can see MY mess there. And sadly, it's not from purses but rather from... well... life in general.<BR/><BR/>Hope you're doing better soon!!!Karinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03180639647099463491noreply@blogger.com
