Why not mail them and let people do their thing? OMG! I wish I could embroider a letter, but I'd go nuts first. Aha! I just had an idea! Gotta type it in Stickies before I forget!<br /><br />Please, please, please! May I have one? Please? :) Must I tell you my idea first? :( :) Ooh, this is good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5656074693450416622.post-52181083498215903682011-11-16T11:52:49.898-08:002011-11-16T11:52:49.898-08:00You gotta mail them!!!!!!!!!You gotta mail them!!!!!!!!!Cappuccinoandartjournal.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11241197153708410602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5656074693450416622.post-74197883584321566842011-11-16T10:18:01.316-08:002011-11-16T10:18:01.316-08:00There are several options: My favorite is this st...There are several options: My favorite is this stuff called fast2fuse. It is stiff, white and flat with fusible on both sides. You can cut it to fit the fabric and then adhear the fabric to both sides with an iron. I use parchment paper to protect my iron from the fusible. Then you can cover the edges of the fast2fuse with a sewing machine's zigzag or other fancy stitch or you could you use embroidery thread, but I warn you, that is hard on your hands. <br /><br />You could also put card board or quilt batting in between the pieces of fabric. Use a Pigma brand pen for writing directly on the fabric. I find the easiest way to do this is to put the fabric on a fairly fine piece of sand paper so it doesn't move. Then you can stamp it and mail it as any other mail art. You often have to put an extra 20 cents on it because it can't always be run through the machines. <br /><br />My friends and I used to send these fiber post cards all the time. <br /><br />SharonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
