I have been using an old Life magazine rolled up and covered with muslin, but after seeing your idea--I like the extra long lenght--I'm going to ask my husband to get me some molding. Thanks for the idea.

Kathleen, thank you so much for posting your dress and story. I loved both. If you added an addition of 10+ more years to your age, my story could be yours. I agree, never give up the path that The Lord purposed for you and continue to build on the skills that you have practiced.

Thank You--I love this finish--I have used it on a jacket, but had trouble top stitching from the right side of the armhole and just catching the tape edge. Your basting first would have helped and will help me next time.
