Sewing Necessity

I like to sew but its something that doesn't come easily to me.  It all seems so easy and logical but then something somewhere sifts, seams don't line up, the frustration of having to rip out what I've just done to begin again and, of course, the blood stains on the projects from being prick with multiple pins.  Sometimes its just more effort than its worth.
 
But then a miracle happens.
 
I can't tell you when.  I can't tell you where.  But at some point in my life I was introduced to the ultimate life saving, profanity stopping, finish what I start in one day wonderful product that is: 
 
 


 
I used Spray 'N Bond while making the Hopscotch mat for the children's Christmas present and loved, loved, loved it.  I sprayed my pieces of felt, stuck them where the needed to go and sewed the night away.  No pins, nothing was crooked because of not being properly pinned, no tears of frustration for me.  If I accidently sprayed in areas that I shouldn't have, not a problem.  It washes away after one wash.  I definitely will be using this product when Its time to teach Bree how to sew.
 
FYI - To help control the mess, I placed my felt on a piece of newspaper before I used the Spray 'N Bond
