aplatir la couture Explanation: "seam" implies that the pieces are already sewn. a placemat has to be flat to be stable. Appuyer sur les points avec le bout du fer à repasser pour menager la tissue et aplatir la couture. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 hrs 49 mins (2005-06-19 10:40:01 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- \"le tissu\" même! |
