there's a fimo soft thought
canastananny: when i run my clay through the pasta
machine the end always look so ragged, is this usual?

think

the pasta machine
rschneiter1963: ah ha that is me too myladyz
myladyz: I just keep rolling it through
canastananny: I can run it through twenty times and it
still has ragged edges
nefret111: you can use those ragged ends to good
effect when you are making something look like an
ancient fragment
myladyz: true
canastananny: true
rschneiter1963: ok now when she folds it is she
stiking the fold in first?
rschneiter1963: or is that the sides

keep it from getting air bubbles

on the outside of the round cane. It's more like a pin
wheel
