Fine-lining it

Posted by Amy L. on December 25, 1999 at 01:19:29:

Wow... thanks so much, everyone, for all your nice comments in the
thread below. I feared the whole thing would come out a mottled
crimson blob after the wrap!

Wonder of wonders, my mom actually likes it now!

Just wondering, for Catherine (or anyone else who knows), how do you
end up with very thin pretty lines? I poked a pin-hole in the corner
of a ziplock bag and used that for a cone, and it seems to work very
well, but as you can see, the lines are not that thin. It may have
spread a bit under the wrap, but it was certainly thicker than a pin
when I laid it out. Any tricks for getting those REALLY gorgeous thin
lines? I'm thinking of doing one of Catherine's winter peace patterns
next, and the doves are just too pretty to use fat lines on.
