If you’ve got a pattern that you’ve used multiple times (we all have a favourite right?!), then you’ll know how battered those little pattern markings get after you’ve tailor tacked them a few times. Once they’ve been used a couple of times, those small holes can easily enlarge or tear and well, that’s just a pain in the rear! Here’s a handy way of making them more durable….

19th May 2013 at 5:24 amThat is a truly inspired idea. I am so old that when I was at school there were no automatically adhesive ring binder reinforcements, you had to lick them , like old fashioned stamps!!!
