Lay your fibers along the length of the scarf. The amount you use will depend on how wide you want your scarf to be. You can lay the fibers in straight rows or let them twist. 3. After all of your fibers are in place, lay the 2nd piece of Wet & Gone Tacky on top. If you prefer, you can pin the layers together around the edges, if not, just start sewing! 4. Start to stitch your scarf by sewing a grid back and forth the short way, then the long way. After your grid is formed, add more stitching if you like. 5. After stitching, place the scarf in warm water over night with ½ c. fabric softener. In the morning, gently rub to remove any remaining stabilizer.
