I also used light interfacing when I sewed boucles. It helps with the ravelling for sure! <br /><br />PS - To me, that is sort of mid way between turquoise and teal (turquoise being more blue and teal being more green). Why not call it cyan? No one really knows what cyan looks like, anyway. ;-)Cliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05552253628640209694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4507269696688990191.post-31513352151560893922014-01-28T16:00:03.626-05:002014-01-28T16:00:03.626-05:00Faye, That beautiful coat you just completed is pr...Faye, That beautiful coat you just completed is proof that you've got the skills....Go ahead and tackle that boucle' and call it a over.

I just iron it onto the back of the boucle' then cut out my pattern. It helps cut down on the raveling and the snagging of the fabric. Can't wait to see what you make! It's going to be gorgeous. And remember that along any journey, even if it does not turn out the way we planned, there are things to be learned. I look at every project as a time to learn. A time to grow. A time to get better at my "craft". Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12524340373559839395noreply@blogger.com
