Challenge 58 Foiled Again
Applying foil to fabric is
a great way to add sparkle and shine to your quilt designs. We are talking
about foil that is specially designed for this purpose--not ordinary aluminum
foil that you use in the kitchen! To apply the foil you must first apply an
adhesive to your fabric, then fuse the foil to the adhesive.
A packet will be given out
with some sample foil, adhesives and instructions. Use these in your project or
feel free to try something else. Have fun!
