After the blocks for the body of the scissors holders were finished (see post of 02-15), they were ready for ribbon embroidery and other embellishments. When that was done, I lined both front and back with batting, backing, and some faux leather at the bottom to protect the fabric from the scissors points. Then they were put together and bound.
I wondered if my sewing machine, a Bernina Artista 180, would be able to sew through all those thicknesses -- 20, in some places, imagine that! -- but it handled it with aplomb, and I was even using the feather stitch.
