| TerryGami, 15 Cloth Toy and Ornament Projects for Crafters, Teachers, and Children |
Should you use washcloths or utility cloths with TerryGami? The answer is; it doesn’t matter. Of course, the ones sold in bulk labeled “washcloths” are softer and maybe a bit thicker. The utility cloths are a bit rougher, but it makes no difference to the project.
Should you use 12” x 12” or 12” x 11” or 11” x 11” or 10” x 10” cloths? The answer is; it shouldn’t matter. Some critters or ornaments will work better with 10-inch square cloths, like the Easter Egg. The design may call for some small adjustment. For example, you may need to move a rubber band up or down a bit for the pattern to turn out right.
Should you sew or glue the project? I have to recommend sewing the project because, if it doesn’t turn out just right the first time, you can always tear out the stitches and begin again. Once you have the knack of making a critter or ornament, then you can glue the project with more confidence, but I think sewing the project makes for a nicer, softer ornament or critter.
There are projects that require a lot of sewing and some projects require barely any sewing at all. Some of the projects will require a bit more shaping and molding, than others.
Unfortunately, it appears that they have reduced the size of the package from 18 cloths per package, to 9 cloths per package, while leaving the price nearly the same. However, the utility cloths in the package appear to be a better quality. The company also seems to be packaging them one color per package. I haven’t decided if that is good or bad yet. I picked up a package of light blue and light green today. The green will be nice for the tortoise, which will be in the upcoming book.
I am selling TerriGami instructions on Esty, too. Look for new projects on the site throughout the month of June.
Happy Crafting!
