MORE on BACKGROUNDs HOOKING + DYE SPOT FORMULA

HINTS for THOSE Ss and Cs to give a GREAT LOOK!

I received a few emails regarding difficulties making a nice background with those blessed  Ss and Cs !!
Here is something  that helps to make the background more ,lets say jumbled up . . .
1.
Use a spot dyed piece of fabric in close  related colours . . .say oranges and reds and yellows,(you could use  formula below)
and
2.
make your  Cs  curled into the Ss . . and  CLOSE to each other . . .  .as in diagram above . . .
TRY this SPOT with several Solutions for a Yellowish AMBER BACKGROUND  . . . . . . using MAJIC CARPET DYES
