Belindi
Well I finally broke down and bought a sewing machine. My kid,
although fitting into 18 month pants for his waist, can't fit the
pants for the length. So I bought the machine in order to hem his
pants. Well the trouble is that the opening at the hem is narrower

help - terminology and factors by
duh who
Ok, just got my Wild Ginger software in. Its asking for a couple of setting
I'm not sure of.
One is facing width. I'm doing a coat. What's an adequate setting? 1.5
inches? 2 inches.
The other is hem allowance. What would that be, about 1 inch? 1.5 inches?

Need to know if velour can be shrunk by
[email protected]
Hi. I own a velour jogging suit that is a little too big for me. It
still looks okay when I wear it, but it is a bit on the baggy side. I
was wondering if any of you know if velour can be shrunk in the
wash/dryer? Thanks for any info.
