great suggestions,every once and a while I have to make spaceas our home is not that large,when I get rid of my Threads magazines, I cut out the projects and sewing articles that Ithink I will use and put them in the clear vinyl covers and file them in my Sewing Info note book and this is faster than going through all my magazines.

Re: Add style and flair with pleats
Ireally can't see why everyone has to make a big issue when someone is kind enough to share their ideas and willing to share( I thought that is what this is suppose to be)
posted: 9:59 pm on May 24thWhat difference does it make weather they are called pleats or pintucks or what ever.
things like this bickering is what causes the death of a good exchange of ideas.
Why would anyone want to contribute to only be put down by snobs, I have quit other sharing sights because of this bickering.
Re: How to Create a Lapped and Embellished Seam
This is a new idea and I love it, I have used the hemstitch foot on the sleeve of a blouse, I cut the sleeve of the pattern down the length of the sleeve and added one half inch to each side of the pattern and pressed under the half inch and used iron on stabalizer to keep my margin, the blouse was very pretty and I got many complements.one can always learn new things
