Ok. So I am gathering my thoughts on cloth. Bases.
Life is normalizing here so I am ready to roll once again.

Some of you are familiar but let me say again, the backing layer I apply to the base is any very thin cotton I have access to. The gridded cotton I am using here is a very sheer cotton curtain cloth I happen to have from an earlier time. I also use harem cloth which I get from dharma (referred to on my research page.) Cotton lawn or very light muslin works, as does any lightweight cotton blouse fabric. I wash and dry everything first. The idea is not to add too much weight but still stabilize. I work in layers and I want to keep the cloth thin and easy to stitch through.
