To finish: block, iron, spray starch as desired. I dampened and blocked
mine, then sprayed with starch. You might also want to experiment with different
colour combinations as you can see I have in the above scan. The first bookmark
is done all in the same verigated thread. The second on uses Southmaid Mexicana
for the first 3 rounds and purple for the 4th round. The third uses pink for
rounds 1 and 3, ecru for rounds 2 and 4
Big thanks to Peggy M for testing this pattern for me!
