The strip was positioned so the stitching was roughly in the middle of the strip. I then folded both edges of the organza to the back and stitched it down with a second line of stitching on the front, in the 'ditch' of the first line. It looks a bit messy on the back, and the organza kept wanting the 'unfold' back to the right side.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11554689127653109236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2782529108660000163.post-14479010665737103982013-12-01T04:11:19.266+00:002013-12-01T04:11:19.266+00:00Nature knows what colors work together and you cer...Nature knows what colors work together and you certainly took these colors to a new height!

Not having used but seen the use of organza as a way of edging ... I agree it has potential.
