A guide to making up Snippet Strips or Rolls.
This is the way I have found to be my best option.
I hand stitch all my strips (not Glue ).
The featured Strip is 7 cm x 30 cm.
Starting with a strip of Poplin or soft cotton torn to size.
I then add a layer of fabric. In this case it is just a Cream
Base, position the images to a place I am happy with.
Find a selection of Laces and trims, etc., and
have a play with the Colour, Position and Design.
The next step is to hand-tack down the backing.
Images and Laces. I find at times the sewing machine is
suitable but no gathering or tightness this way.
Also a slight movement of the piece because of the small
scale, can be an added bonus.
If you are concerned about fraying, I use the pinking
shears to trim off the sides. Also if you are not happy
with this look a narrow lace trim edge can be used.
