I finally got back to the french braid that has been on my design wall for 2 months! And it is looking good.
I needed to trim the edges and add the inner border strips of black. I did not follow the directions exactly---which said to trim the edges after marking and then add the strips. That would leave me with bias edges to stitch to. So I marked the jagged edges with the new green marking pencil ( the ceramic type--worked great even on dark fabrics) and then stitched the black strips to the run. I then cut off the jagged edge and pressed. I had next to no stretching and everything seems to be flat. Yea!
I grabbed the new gadget and added New Pages to the blog a couple of days ago. I still have a couple of photos to upload of free motion quilting to put on that page. Thumbs up--great idea for a gadget.
