While I was in Ireland I ordered the wefty needles, I watched the videos I could find, and was really excited to try this new-to-me way of making fabric.

I watched more than this while there and once I returned... I decided to set things up using the bottom of a box I was given at Costco. Worked well. I felt good that I didn't go to store to buy the foam core board.
Also, I didn't have the recommended lightweight woven fusible, but I used tape to secure the piece and was able to remove it quite well.
I just need more help and different directions so I can get the correct pattern in my work. Maybe an example where a different fabric was used for the different sections - just to get where to do the weaving! I'm not sure if my error was made in level two or/and level three...
Other people were able to do the design as planned, and some did not. http://alidatweloqdesigns.blogspot.com/2018/07/starry-bright-sky-qal-linky-month-7.html I submitted my block via email, I received the next month's pattern but just now it doesn't look like she posted my image on the linky. Oh well.
So that wasn't the problem.
Here you can see that I drew the grid on the box, and used painters tape to secure so I could remove it to the sewing machine... |

So this is what I ended up with. Not happy with it. Maybe will make a pillow top, or maybe not.
