Congrats to this week’s winner, Shirley Morgan! If you didn’t win, you really should treat yourself to a sandboard. I use a sandboard every time I sit down to my hand sewing. The sandpaper keeps fabric from shifting as you trace or pin and the board itself is handy to set your stuff on, on your lap, as you sew.
There are 2 sizes of sandboard. I use the smaller Travel Sandboard when I am away from home. I use the larger, Essential Sandboard at home. Click here to find them both.

I’ll use a random number generator to choose a winner Thursday, May 18, 2017. It might be later in the day as I will be out of town teaching.
Good luck!

I have not used one of these boards. I have tried just sandpaper, but having it already attached to a board would be convenient.

Hi Becky
Thanks for a chance to win a sand board. I was going to buy one in class yesterday but they were gone. I took your Backyard Birds class at Cocheco. You had lots of useful information. I loved the class. Thank you.

I still use the original piece of sandpaper glued inside a file folder for my hand appliqué tracing…way back when I only took an appliqué class so I would know how…it remains one of my favorite techniques 20+ years later! I’d love to be the lucky winner and upgrade to this!! Thanks for the chance.
