Stitching
At first I began stitching with my cross-stitch needle. You need to use a tool to punch a small hole first so that you do not bend the paper when you stick the needle through the paper. I tried simple zigzag and a star.
When perusing the shelves at a scrapbook shop in Kalamazoo, saw pages with paper machine zigzag stitched onto it. I knew that I could tackle this rather than pay $2.99 for 2 sheets of paper! I dug out my sewing machine and did some fiddling with the machine and voila! I had created my own machine sewn page.
