Fibre Artist Diaries: #14 Sentro Tips

 To the person who commented on my instagram that with my sentro pieces I needed to opt for steam blocking to keep my v shaped pieces flat, I love you <3

Although I loved this top I made, its lack of flatness irked me.

After finally giving in and getting a steamer, the edge is finally straight!!
So yeah, if you use the sentro to make clothes etc, get a steamer asap, it will actually make your life much easier!
