Laundering fabric by
[email protected]
How many of you launder their washable fabrics before cutting out their
projects?
I am curious because many years ago I had a class in sewing and it was
recommended to wash all material before starting your projects. We were
told this would show the nature of the fabric, ie bleeding,...

I'm so proud... by
Siptah
I figured out how to use the blind hem stitch on my machine! Got 3 of the 4
hems needed for my girls dresses done. (2 on each dress, one for the skirt
and one for the lining). SOOOOOO much quicker than hand stitching the hem!
