[Nfb-krafters-korner] Washcloth crafts

[Zimmer, Cindy]

Pam,
While sewing there is a guide you can use on your sewing machine to help keep your stitches straight.  I also just use a piece of plastic canvas or thick magnet as a straight edge to line my fabric up against.  You can use a rotary cutter and a template to keep your lines straight when cutting.
