a new sewer-help with curtain length shortening by aces1
I bought already made curtains. I want to shorten them. Any quick suggestions so that it doesn't look tacky when I finish. They are tab curtains. They fit the dinning room and the kitchen window is just 3 feet away but a smaller window length. Thanks, Chris in MI

What's the deal with White Jeans Machine model numbers? by bromeliad
What's the deal with White Jeans Machine model numbers? I'm trying to make sense of them so I can do comparison shopping. Except they don't make sense. One web site says that #4040 is the same as #4075. I just want one that does one-step button holing at the best price. Help!
