Hi, Natalie – I used unwashed, medium-weight muslin, with no
interfacing. I just burnished it heavily to the mat, and then taped it
down at the edges. A light pressure with the marker worked best –
setting was 1 or 2, as I recall.

Hope that helps!

HI, Natalie – I used medium-weight, unwashed muslin. I didn't add any interfacing, I just burnished it very firmly to the mat and then taped the edges. I used light pressure on the marker – a 1.5 setting, as I recall. Hope that helps!

help! did you back your muslin? I put some iron on interfacing on mine, and it bled all over no matter what pressure I set it to. Did you use muslin? Or broadcloth? Did you prewash it? Thanks in advance!

Tell me about the process for adhering the muslin to the cutting mat so that it does not ‘hang-up’ Thanks, I get frustrated with hopeful fabric printing and cutting.

I would like some more information on the I fear math method. I would love to make a bad like this, but am not so good at following patterns.

Did you iron on interfacing before drawing? This is gorgeous!
