[amayausers] Re: design on caps

Phyllis,

I am not quite sure what you mean when you say it is actually still in the 
flat sew, or does that really matter........

 I originally sewed it out on a 12cm hoop and then the husband set
it for the hat hoop and so therefore it is actually still in the flat sew.
or does that really matter?
