Double a very small piece of scotch tape and adhere it to the center of the paper piece, then simply attach the piece to the fabric. It holds the piece perfectly in place, no pin holes in the fabric, and it separates very easily without snagging the fabric.I hope this is a useful tip. <br />Trish P.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4331458201164553344.post-66455720110706643222012-04-06T16:01:54.343-07:002012-04-06T16:01:54.343-07:00Judy, I haven't found the needles in every sto...Judy, I haven't found the needles in every store, so sometimes I order them from Amazon.
