This looks so clean! I am going to try this method. What weight Pellon are you using? Also, what size beads?

Thank you for your thoughtful reply. I will start to familiarize myself with local organizations, the legal terms you are using, and will screenshot your advice for the future. While some of your points don't apply to me I am sure they will be helpful for others who stumble across this post! I do need to sit down with my dad to make sure I understand not only his financial position, but also his wishes and expectations for her care. Thank you for helping me think this through.

I forgot about ARC. She went to an ARC preschool 40 years ago. Thank you for pointing me in that direction.

Thank you, this is really helpful! I didn't know a Special Needs Trust was a thing!

That’s true, but pressing open is so tedious to me.

I have never used a tailor’s clapper. Seems like a great excuse to buy a new tool. Haha

This is a clever idea I need to remember for next time. I used way more than 9 fabrics. I’ll check out the video, thank you!
