I used interfacing and no flannel for the inside, so it came out very slim. I am trying different things to find the best way to make the edges of the journal cover easy to sew through. Without anything (like batting) in between, the maker is already sewing through at least 8 layers and that doesn&#8217;t even take the seams from the piecing that might hit the edge. I don&#8217;t know about your machine, but that is a lot of layers through which to sew.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_46704\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-46704\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/wp-15634067216381005782575980583722.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-46704\" src=\"https:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/wp-15634067216381005782575980583722-300x193.jpg\" alt=\"Orange Improv Journal Cover -inside back cover\" width=\"300\" height=\"193\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/wp-15634067216381005782575980583722-300x193.jpg 300w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/wp-15634067216381005782575980583722-768x493.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/wp-15634067216381005782575980583722-1024x657.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/wp-15634067216381005782575980583722-1200x770.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-46704\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Orange Improv Journal Cover -inside back cover<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I still haven&#8217;t quite figured out how to center exactly what I want on the front.
