Hi Roxy, How new are you? What patterns have you tried? What have you made that you've had success with? What do you want to make? As you can see, I've got a lot of questions and no answers for you. If you can answer some of the questions, maybe I can help you. I hope to hear from you again.

You're welcome. This method makes a very stretchy foundation. Making a dishcloth for a test is a good idea.

Thanks for the visuals! One of these days I am going to have to start out a project using that method and see what a difference it makes. Perhaps a dishcloth, then I can make one the regular way and compare the two.
