looking for tips on working large project 
NICEIAM 8/31/2009 8:41 PM
I'm trying to psych myself up to start a new project - it's quite large compared to others I've done. Approx 34.5 x 28 inches.

I've used scroll rods, hoops and sometimes nothing. I'm not quite sure how to tackle this project. Think I'll want to try to roll fabric so that I don't have such a large area to work around, but not sure how to accomplish this.

Anyone have any tips?

While I try to get started, I'm trying to finish at least 2-3 others that are in-process.

Thanks.
