Hey guys! I am finishing up the new cage for the girls, looking good so far yay! Next I need to sew some liners and pads for their cage. I only have about a week to do so, as I'll be heading back to school full time sorry. I got my machine on Christmas and have made one good pee pad and one not so good one hehe. I have a few questions to all you sewing pros out there.
1. How do I measure and cut the fleece in straight lines? I wasted so much trying to make the two pads I have done already...
2. For the inner stitching on a large pad (so the absorbant layer doesn't shift) does anyone have tips on how to make it even on all the sides and such. My first pad had about 6 inches of space on one side and maybe 2 on another, it was bad haha. It's hard to tell where you are until it's too late...
3. Do they make legitimate "washable markers" that I could mark up the fleece, sew/cut it and it wash completely out?
4. I could really, really, I mean really use some simple instructions on how to make pads, liners, cozy cups and sacks, etc My common sense isn't doing me much justice so far.
Any other tips, or inputs on the topic would be fantastic too! I am a complete noob so don't get too technical on me guys
