I think that I would suggest using mod podge on the antennae, and I would likely place some waxed paper underneath, perhaps with a touch of vaseline so that it didn't stick. But then again, I am just a newbie, so I have no idea what other things are out there!Loraleihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03823345387896490753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089615911925785137.post-76068837335133005042011-09-13T20:14:01.767-04:002011-09-13T20:14:01.767-04:00I love the Whiplash lines of quilting in the sky. ...I love the Whiplash lines of quilting in the sky.

It supposedly dries to a "hard, stiff film. For use with neutral fibers. Useful for stiffening unprimed canvas or sculpting and shaping fabric." it might be worth giving it a shot. I LOVE these pieces and have really enjoyed following your progress on them.Quilter Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12692414632379402401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089615911925785137.post-3162844958335852222011-09-13T16:36:15.425-04:002011-09-13T16:36:15.425-04:00Every time I visit your blog it is like being in a...Every time I visit your blog it is like being in a wonderful class.
