Simple Bottlecap Pincushion Tutorial
This is the "base" tutorial, take this one first. Most of the other bottlecap tutorials are based on this, and may not include all these steps.

If you like these tutorials... Please consider showing your appreciation by donating a little something via paypal from the block on the right side of the site. It keeps me motivated to take the time to make even more available. Too lazy to make your own? I have many for sale in the Pincushion Store

Other Available Pincushion Tutorials (for members only) Since I made these other tutorials for a upcoming book (Lark Books, fall 2008) I'm not making them publicly available, but my online friends can get access to them on my flickr.com galleries.
