Finishing Bookmarkers
Is there a site anywhere on the net that shows or describes how to finish
the edges of bookmarkers. Lou |

Can`t help you with a site, but I cross stitch a single line all round, a
few rows in, and fray out the edges. Then I back the bookmark with iron on sticky-backed felt. Nice neat job and easy-peasy. Pat P "Lou Rehberger" wrote in message ... Is there a site anywhere on the net that shows or describes how to finish the edges of bookmarkers. Lou |

That's a nice way to finish bookmarks Pat .... and you can also do what I
did for the grandkids for Christmas ... just turn over the edges and put sticky felt on the back - quick and easy.

Here's what you do Pat - hold the bookmark down on the floor with your foot,
take your already-cut-out piece of sticky felt, lay it carefully on the back of the bookmark, then stomp on it - poof, done. :-) Hope all is well across the pond. Want some cold weather - it was minus 39C here the other day - most delightful. (I have to say that cuz Sheena won't let me live something down - the little f**t.

OK, Cleverclogs - that still doesn`t tell me how I turn over the
cotton-pickin` EDGES neatly! I`ll just send them to you. Are you going to be at this shindig in June, when Gill gets up there? I`m so jealous! Pat P "clancy" wrote in message ...

I haven't found a site that shows how to do this, but I have done a few
bookmarks myself. There is actual cross stitch bookmak fabric that you can get with the sides already secure, and to finish the top of bottom of it, run a back stitch along from one side the the other and then fray the edges - it works great. Tracey |
