Re: A New Improved Seam Roll

I have been using an old Life magazine rolled up and covered with muslin, but after seeing your idea--I like the extra long lenght--I'm going to ask my husband to get me some molding. Thanks for the idea.

Re: A Nice Little Suit

Thank you for sharing I love this kind article.

Re: Inspired By Threads: Issue 64 ~ Ribbonwork Flowers/In Detail

Kathleen, thank you so much for posting your dress and story. I loved both. If you added an addition of 10+ more years to your age, my story could be yours. I agree, never give up the path that The Lord purposed for you and continue to build on the skills that you have practiced.

I love this issue of Threads--so much info--I can't wait to read everything. Thank you

Re: The Fortuny Shirt

Thank You--I love this finish--I have used it on a jacket, but had trouble top stitching from the right side of the armhole and just catching the tape edge. Your basting first would have helped and will help me next time.

Re: Zipper Madness

I have 4 granddaughters that I am making school skirts that have zippers--for trimming--so fun

Re: 3 Neat Edge Finishes for the Sleeveless Styles of Summer

Wow-How creative. The ideas will be very helpful. I also love the silk burlap. I have used the folded bias facing on children's dresses. Can't wait to try the scalloped edging. Thank you.

Re: Working with Embellished Fabrics, Part 2
