Hi all, I have three stockings to make for christmas, and I remembered that ages ago I bought a set of very small cut outs from a peanuts (as in snoopy) winter scene, already ironed onto fusible web (so they're ready to be ironed down). I am thinking about incorporating them into the stockings, but ever since I've gotten them, I've wondered how I could possibly finish the edges of something so tiny (some as small as an inch). I usually finish the edges of fused pieces with a blanket stitch or tight zig zag by machine. I really don't want to use monofilament (had bad luck the one time I tried it, and not ready to try it again), or else I'd stipple all over it (I think this is how the McKenna Ray wallhangings work?). Is there any other solution I am just not seeing? I could fuse them and hope they don't fall off or fray/curl on the edges over time (seems like a stocking is unlikely to be washed in the machine). Or, I could attempt to zigzag and just hope the faces don't look too horrific. I suppose I could try a blind hem stitch. Help - I want these done by thanksgiving, but because I can never decide on a design, I never make them! :)
many thanks, Lynn
