I use regular sewing<BR/>pins (lots) with the colored heads and<BR/>spray the whole thing with a lot<BR/>of water. It may not be the thing<BR/>to do, but it works for me and it's<BR/>easy.baby facehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07628417542718261873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30752005.post-57023894907583131892008-05-19T16:31:00.000-04:002008-05-19T16:31:00.000-04:00I have the cover withcthe grid and the padding t...I have the cover withcthe grid and the padding that goes underneath, but no board to put it on yet. I usually spread stuff out on the dining room floor on top of towels. or pin it on the bed if it is lace wt and I know it will dry before bed time. Some day I plan to get a board for the blocking board set.monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16774976566064027341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30752005.post-8438969640052293192008-05-16T13:42:00.000-04:002008-05-16T13:42:00.000-04:00I have some big fat LARGE pieces of styrofoam that...I have some big fat LARGE pieces of styrofoam that I use. I can tape several pieces together to block the large shawls I tend to make. <BR/><BR/>I WISH mine had pre-drawn gridlines, but I'm too lazy to draw them on myself. I tend to use the edges of the styrofoam sheets as guides, and I do use blocking wires and straight edges (yardsticks) to get the edges even and straight. <BR/><BR/>For smaller projects, you can get a foldable gridded and padded surface at places like JoAnn. I think mine is by June Tailor. It's too small for most of the stuff I make though. :(Janice in GAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05642298460152468319noreply@blogger.com
