DanceRat
Just getting started on this sewing machine buying adventure. We found
a Brother pc-6000 for 700.00 used today, but I am seeing them new on
the net for 699.00... my one question is that the pfaff salesperson

Sueded Tencel - which side out? by
duh who
I've got some copperish colored sueded tencel that I'm about to make a shirt
out of. The two sides each have their own qualities and I'm undecided on
which to use.
Either side shows a crumpled look, which is good.

Help with flower girl's dress by
Arlinda
I am making a dress for a flower girl. I am not a professional seamstress
but I have sewn many nice dresses. The fabric is a satin with just a hint
of shine. It has a 'slub' design that is selvage to selvage. It is
probably a dupioni (sp?). I'd say it almost looks to have a linen look....

I'm having better luck with the plackets.
I saw another version of a placket in a book where that little pinnacle is
