As long as the garnissage moussee does not come out as someting edible..what a laugh about that paw..what a hoot..this has made my afternoon. Thanx for that.

Coffee-coloured [brown????] bias edging made of foam - god I almost said mousse!! Actually, that sounds bad..i give up for now..I can see it but i can't for the life of me describe it...

You're absolutely right! 1 s�rigraphie patte � l'ext�rieure en bas � droite = 1 screen-printed paw exterior bottom right!!
Jane Lamb-Ruiz (X) Apr 20, 2005:
Please, please tell us what you have come up with for 1 motif patte...god, it so funny, isn't it? Sounds like a giant pawprint in the middle of the doggy basket..

bias edging

Believe this or not...ha ha..

Meaning: bias edging means that the material looks pretty and fits snugly Around Something..so there are no little tucks in the material.. if you have ever tried to put an edge...a French seam for example..[:)] around something that is not straight, it comes out all icky if you don't cut the edging fabric on the bias...ho hum..seem to remember my sewing.....

Tricky wicky.....:)

How about that 1 motif patte? Funny, huh?

agree Dr Sue Levy (X) : I think not piping - that's a folded piece of fabric that sticks out from a seam - may or may not contain a cord//makes a tube - can be filled or empty :-)

Now wait a minute there Sue..piping is round, right? How can you have piping without a "pipe".....oh yeah...I see....right you are!
agree Aisha Maniar : bias edging, not piping
