I'm afraid I'm making a poor man's version (no sewing!) as I lack the time and skill to finish it as nicely as yours but the lettering was just the look I wanted and it's coming together nicely for my son's first birthday next week. I'm using scraps of material so it's not costing a penny and freeing up space in my craft drawers, hoorah!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7921180150891952150.post-21369432706996472922012-11-28T08:28:29.929-07:002012-11-28T08:28:29.929-07:00@The Hobbs FamilyHi Lindsay!

The letters need to be backwards for tracing onto the adhesive because it will end up on the backside of the letters. Otherwise, your letters will be reversed. I hope you make a banner...I'd love to see it!chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16320267523897987719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7921180150891952150.post-71320444055505116972011-09-07T10:14:51.232-06:002011-09-07T10:14:51.232-06:00I love this!!

Dana has a great tutorial for making bias tape <a href="http://www.dana-made-it.com/2008/07/technique-understanding-bias-and-making.html" rel="nofollow">HERE</a>. Just scroll towards the end for making your own. If you applique your letters prior to sewing the triangles together, be sure to interface your triangles before your begin. Applique needs some extra weight. You can avoid interfacing when you applique through two pieces of fabric (as shown in my tutorial). You can see more great tips on applique <a href="http://pickupsomecreativity.blogspot.com/2010/07/sewing-101-with-traci-applique-basics.html" rel="nofollow">HERE from Sewing 1010</a> Good luck!

Should I just stitch together a bunch of pieces? (2) it seems easier to me to stitch on the letters before sewing the two triangles together-- to avoid having to change the bobbin thread so often. Do you think this would work? <br /><br />Thanks so much for all your attention to detail and sharing this great project!!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10385580289992009010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7921180150891952150.post-43507558696364824432011-01-24T11:09:18.151-07:002011-01-24T11:09:18.151-07:00Thank so much for the tutorial!
