    i dont think you even have to bind them. i am trying something now. just knotting tiny silk strips into the cloth, knotted at both ends. i havent had time to get away form the workshop to gather my thoughts yet.

    Okay, Grace, this is just a fantastic idea; it is like a net to catch snips of this and bits of that down to a fabric to create a new layer of fabric on a fabric. It is like couching a thread or a fiber, but more sculptural… wonderful possibilities…

    Great idea, Grace – does it replace the need for pins until basting down?
