Help with Hair canvas

[Barb T]

Hi Moski,

Some people wear a thimble on the middle finger and some wear it on the ring finger. Your choice. If you've never worn a thimble before, it will feel weird on either finger, but it's worth being persistent. Just try it out on each one and see which you like the best. The aim is to have it oriented so that you can push the needle through the fabric in one smooth motion.

In terms of stitching the canvas - even though it's commonly called "tailor basting", you don't take it out. So you wouldn't put it anywhere where it would show. You'd never use it where the tartan is only 1 thickness beneath the canvas.
