Flag Stitch Dishcloth

This dishcloth combines the special stitch, the flag stitch, with the double treble crochet. This is a great pattern for practicing this new stitch. The image is what the rows look like in this pattern. The dishcloth was too big to fit in my scanner. But this is basically what the dishcloth looks like.

Random Quick Tip!

Non Slip Quilting Templates
If you are having trouble cutting fabric with a rotary cutter and cutting templates, because the template slips, and you don't need to be able to see through the template or ruler, you can use put non skid shelf liner on the back side applied with double stick tape. I do this for my little hexagon templates for English Paper Piecing. That way, the non skid liner sticks to the fabric and the fabric will move with the ruler as you cut your shapes out. Just put the double stick tape on the back of the template, then lay the template onto the non skid liner and cut it out as if you were cutting fabric with the template. Really Easy!
