Watched all the videos and following the forum. I just finished my first house. My tip is to use my small clover craft iron for pressing. I will also take fabrics from stash. Cut up fabrics for all the houses, now to the sewing part.

The next few blocks went together so much better and faster! So can I say a little addictive?

Which "craft iron" did you use? The little Clover that is just a smaller version of an iron, or the "stick" Clover? Thanks.

Carole, your houses look fantastic. What embroidery facebook groups can you recommend? Why do they like Valdani?

Hi Judy, My favorite Facebook group for wool applique is called Wool Applique. How original, huh? From there, you will see many other groups and BOMs posted that you can request to join.

I like Valdani as it's just one thread and find it easier to work with than pulling apart separate pieces of floss and then putting back together. For me, it has less likelihood to knot and tangle.

Best, Carole
