outlining

[Janet F.]

Hi,

I've been doing some outlining tonight on some designs and I've been having a few problems with the "fiddly bits" 
some of the designs have really small bits on them small hearts, circles flowers etc i'm having trouble getting the outliner thin enough to manage to do these by the time I've gone around them they just look like a blob, so I give up on a few
also when doing these fiddly bits I find my hand gets qiute shaky
I'd be grateful for any suggestions

Hiya Janet
Do you use a piping bag made from strong greaseproof or are you using a tube??

[Janet F.]

A tube  with a fine point
I tried making a piping bag from what I thought was strong greaseproof and i got it everywhere

Don't tell Alan but put sellotape round near the tip.
This will stop it opening.

[Janet F.]

My lips are sealed Dawn I won't tell anyone 

thanks for that I'll give it another go and try later

I used some time this morning when we couldn't get on here to paint a couple of the things I'd outlined last night
