Two questions 1)what needle do you use when sewing on paper? would old needles work? and 2)would you mind taking a close up picture of the stitching?

I absolutely love these cards and your growing basket of pincushions. Thanks for sharing your process with the cards. It's nice to know the step of attaching the sewn cards to another card.

Cut it in half once to make 2 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" pieces. Fold each in half and you have 2 blank cards ready to use! <br /><br />I keep an old rotary cutter on hand for cutting paper. That way I don't dull my fabric blade. <br /><br />I hope that helps!<br /><br />AJAmanda Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06311818385469850186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-35380831319143086342015-02-09T10:33:58.626-06:002015-02-09T10:33:58.626-06:00SarahZ,

Fold in half to make a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" card. If you are just starting out, I recommend buying a 8 1/2" x 11" ream of card stock. Cut the piece in half and you have two cards ready to make. <br /><br />I hope that helps! <br /><br />AJAmanda Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06311818385469850186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-67136801005991525302015-02-09T07:55:57.500-06:002015-02-09T07:55:57.500-06:00Oh my goodness, I love those cards!
