It had not occurred to me that chain-style assembly could be applied to hand-sewing, and it will make everything so much more streamlined. And organized. I start resenting having to fish around for the scissors after each little piece, while finding somewhere safe to stow my needle, and now I won't have to. And I worry that I'm misplacing a tiny triangle, which will be hard to do if it is strung together with its companions. One question: Do you tend to knot each of the pieces at the start and end of the basting (that is, does one string of pieces have 1 knot, 2 knots, or many knots)? I tried enlarging your photo, but my computer just turned it into fuzziness. Thanks - Mariko (instacam4mariko)Marikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06606741708743633532noreply@blogger.com
