Another question.

Just want to get an idea - from what material do you make your sloper
blocks? Plastic, paper etc?

Thanks
Katherine

Once I have them down, I use standard manila, like the pros. The trick to
keeping it flat is to fold the sheets in half lengthwise and staple.
And I store the pieces on pattern hooks.

Thank you Kay,

"Manilla" as that light cardboard they use for folders?

Yup. Comes in rolls of various widths. Better than say, illustration board,
because it keeps a nice sharp edge which makes it easier to trace off
accurately.

Now you've done it!!! If I were 20 years younger, I'd buy a
roll. But my kids would probably think I has gone
*completely* nuts when they found it after I die. ;-|
