- leftover cotton batting, or felt
- a gluestick,
- rotary cutter, and
- a file folder.
Rub gluestick inside the folder, carefully lay the batting on the glue, close the folder and press flat. Let it dry, and trim off excess from the top and bottom.
Now you have a handy place to store and carry your applique pieces until needed. They stay flat, clean, and easy to find. The batting holds them in place!
Make a folder for each project!
Good idea. A way to keep from losing the little pieces.
ReplyDeleteGreat for hand piecing pieces too! Keeps them all in order.
ReplyDeleteThank YOU! There are clear pouches available, too, that go in ring binders.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this handy idea! Will definately give it a try - Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea -- thank you so much -- I often worry about my cut pieces starting to fray -- this will keep them safe and sound.

Hello, I just found your blog today through a link from another one. I became a Follower. I don't do Baltimore album quilts but I love applique. A year ago the local guild sponsored a two day workshop with Elly S and that was very educational.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I will definitely try this.
