June 15, 2013 at 9:39 AMI have been a loyal follower of your blog for some time. I love your pouches and decided to give it a try. My appliqué is far from perfect. Have you done a tutorial on stitching the letters? Do you use paper to back while sewing them? I admire your work. I am striving to get my pouches to look as good as yours. Thank you!
