Let's get started: Note: all tools shown are available in the workshop store. Cut a piece of cotton fabric 1 inch larger than the intended size. For instance, if you are going to use a 6 inch square to fold, then rough cut a 7 inch square. Pour about 2 or 3 tablespoons of stiffener on the fabric. Spread the stiffener with any item that will press the solution into the fabrics and pull it away from the surface. Place fabric on a screen to dry. The fabric should be saturated but not dripping.
