Hi Beth, thanks a lot. The little tool in the middle is used to measure seam allowances and hems. Easier to use than a measuring tape for that. I just placed it there to show a scale. Tania Beth Schoenberg [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, Tania, Nice job! I remember doing this pattern 20-(???)

Lenore, I took a look at your blog. You did a great job! I also liked how you are doing the Milanese braid sampler. So much more interesting than just the straight ribbons. And I really liked the card for your medallion. Your friend? or the maker did a great job. I just may borrow that idea
