Re: How to Cover Snaps
Thank you, thank you, thank you. When I sew, I want my results to be truly professional and couture looking. I always wondered how to create covered snaps as I've noticed that only the best articles of clothing have them. I can't wait to try this out. I also think covered snaps look great on hand knit cardigan sweaters. I find knit buttonholes always stretch out, so I tend to omit buttonholes, and either add some grosgrain ribbon to the front inside edges and close with snaps, or change the design and add a hand-sewn in zipper. I will use the covered snaps and coordinate the color with the grosgrain ribbon for a beautifully finished look.

Re: Raw-Edge Bias Binding
This is so cool! I am dying to try this technique on a boiled wool jacket using a contrast colored linen. Let me at my sewing room!
