  1. Wow! That was a good bit of dedication! I know of things modernly called “prairie points” – but they tend to be individual points sewn all in a row. To figure out how to do it with continuous tape is amazing! A lot of work and a lot of tape! How wide was the tape you used?


    1. I think the 19th women needlework authors like Mrs. Weaver, Matilda Pullan, Eliza Warren, etc. were quite amazing. I can’t imagine coming up with so many patterns and crafting ideas, and all without the technology aids we have now!


  2. Must try for my sampler book! A couple of inches, maybe? I shouldn’t make promises I cannot keep, I have the attention span of a gnat! 3/8″, huh?!!! Hmm, methinks I should go back to sewing school. Great information though! I keep coming back as you constantly challenge me.


    1. Gnat’s attention span = ok. Gnat’s memory = I have a suggestion. If you make a sample one, either write a little number on each step/fold, and/or keep the working end of the tape loose from the book. That’s so that you can lift it up and trace or unfold it backwards. I can forget one day how I made something the day before!
