[Zookeeper9000]

Portia good for you, how exciting, just sit and sew that is how ya learn and if it doesn't have a manual try to get one on line it will really help. Congrats again

I have the manual in my hands right now as I multi-task with watching a movie, pet my dog and BYC. What I should be doing is catching up on some article reading

maybe tomorrow.

So could you just use your hands to put the snap on or must you have some sort of snap put er on thingy ?

No my snaps are made for the press, they fit into it.

Ok, I'm just trying to understand the technique.

each part of the snap goes on each side of the press, with the fabric inbetween, then you lean on the handle.

I have to do it on the floor to put all my weight on it.
they're pretty sturdy, but they need to be put through at least double thickness of fabric.

Are you going to be selling any of these bags, I have some fabric laying around here I'd like you to make one out of.

LOL not any time soon!

Actually, now that I made one, I'm going to try print some pictures on fabric and make a purse for myself with pic's of the animals or something - I don't often actually USE a purse, but it will be cute. I might make one for my MIL - she'd go gaga over something like that with her grandkids on it.

Do you think you could do a step by step instructional post for me. I'd like to see the process..

Sure. I basically used this process:

But my squares are quilted with thin batting in between, and MUCH smaller - these blocks were 4 inches each.
