When I first saw stitching in this week's MIM title I thought, "Well, I'm gonna sit this one out." I don't sew. This is different though. No machine involved! I stamped the banner string in Berry Sorbet ink, poked some holes, and used Heather's back stitch. It was so easy and it guarantees you end up with your floss on the back side of your project!
