Craft Project: Country At Heart Pins

Thank You for taking the time to carefully write out the directions. It's an amazing looking piece of jewelry! ...I do have 3 easy questions for you.

1) Can you use liquid starch or do you need to use fabric stiffener which cost much more?
2) What brand of fabric stiffener do you prefer?
3) What type of glue did you use? I've found that many glues simply don't work for long (like Elmer's & super glue) I've had some success with 2 part epoxy, but my all time favorite (for most projects) is E6000.

I find the fabric at almost any place from Walmart to Joannes. You can go on eBay and put in fabric in crafts, then put in cheater quilt in front of fabric and it will link you up.
No, you don't have to have a sewing machine, I just wanted it to be more quilted looking. You can do it by hand, esp' if you are doing it on a small scale. Keep in mind, I made 300 so I sewed the seam all the way down the felt each direction, then cut the hearts out afterward.
Let me know if I can help any further!

I am submitting some fabric to look for on ebay right now.

DO I HAVE TO USE MY SEWING MACHINE?
IT IS BROKE.
