interesting sleeve treatment by
Marilyn
I make a fair amount of the clothes my girls wear. I try to look at
what is popular, sort out what I like and think is appropriate and do
similar things with the clothes I make for them. I bought a ready wear
shirt for my daughter this weekend by Ecko Red. I would like to copy
the technique they...

Interfacing? by
Aylwen Garden
I'm presently using vilene interfacing 1085 in Australia, but am looking for
a similar product, non-fusible that is twice the thickness. It comes on a
50m roll and when unrolled lies completely flat. Does anyone know of this
product? I buy through my dressmaking business, so any trade contacts...

Introducing me by
Judith Umbria
Hi, I'm Judith and I am once again trying to learn to sew well, rather
than adequately, I found you when searching for information on steam
pressers. I need one!
My problems generally have more to do with language rather than tricky
sewing techniques. My machine is a Singer, but bought here in...

inverted pleated drapery by
[email protected]
Hi
Hope someone out there can help me! I'm hoping to make some inverted
pleated drapes for my living room. My understanding is that this type
of pleat is not the same as a box pleat (which needs 3X fullness) but,
rather, is the reverse of a pinch pleat (which needs 2.5X fullness).
I know how to...

Invisible Zipper by

Over Christmas I was trying to sew a velvet dress and thought the invisible
zipper would look nice. The first attempt, I melted the zipper teeth, the
second attempt, my foot sewed too close to the teeth. Do any of you have
good experience with either a Bernina or Viking and what foot did you use...

Iron on transfers of pictures by
Carol
Has anyone used iron on transfers for putting pictures on tshirts or
pillow cases? Any tips? Is it best to copy the picture directly onto
the transfer paper or have picture scanned and then use a printer?
Thanks.

Ironing Board Question by
Nick and Judy
I know this is silly but it got me wondering. Is there a "correct" way to
set up an ironing board? I always set it up with the tapered end to my
left(I am right handed).
My mil, (who is otherwise, a lovely woman), always tells me I have it facing
the wrong way. Or is is just personal...

Is fusible tape the answer for hemming pants? by
Bill[_5_]
I have about 20 suits and a good 6 of them have at least one of the
pants leg hems in some state of unsew-dom. For those of you who have
this, it sometimes gets worse when you put the pants on because you can
catch your foot in the gap and rip even more threads out. I will either
have to leave...
