Re: Three Ways to Attach Boning

Thank you for the article and all the added information from the fine sewers.

Re: Project Runway All Stars: "Puttin' on the Glitz"

I really loved Mondo's look. He did a fab job mixing prints and fabrics as only he can. I didn't like Austin's, too bare in the chest and too garish a hairdo. I just don't think it worked. However, I did like Jarrell's also.

Re: How to Make Ribbon Trim

Thank you for sharing this beautiful embellishment. This would be beautiful to enhance sleeves and neckline on a simple dress.

Re: Project Runway All Stars: "Patternmaking for Piggy"

I liked several of these, but Rami took my vote too. Mondo had a very interesting take on the project.

Re: Project Runway All Stars: Return to the Runway

I love this show! Everything is starting out great. I don't mind the changes, it gives me the chance to find out about more people in the fashion industry. Mondo has always been one of my favorites.

Re: Creating a Minifacing

Thank you for this tutorial. I can see myself using it often. Where can I find other tutorials that you have written?

Re: Front Edge and Shoulder Pads for Fantasy Fur Jacket

You do beautiful work. Thank you for the tips on making a shoulder pad.

Re: Sew Simple

I think this is a great idea. I will be sure to try some.

Re: Color Coordination

I do wear colors that flatter me, but I get excited about seasonal colors where I can add asesories to an outfit, make a new pillow cover, and spruce up myself and my house with something fresh. I like honeysuckle, phlox teal and quarry. Since I live on the SC coast, bright colors are always in.

Re: A New Improved Seam Roll

What a great idea! Thank you for sharing.

Re: Book Giveaway: "Threads Sewing Guide"

From all of the comments, this is the book I need and would love to receive. I always have so many questions about sewing that The Threads Sewing Guide, is a must for me to have.
Thank you for this opportunity!

Re: The International Textile Expo Hits Las Vegas

Thank you for being our behind the scenes person. I just love the gorgeous fabric.

Re: Book Giveaway: "Embroidery Companion: Classic Designs for Modern Living" by Alicia Paulson

My grandmother taught me to embroider pillow cases when I was quite young. I love to embroider by hand and have enjoyed crewel the most because it has so much texture. I am going to try ribbon embroidery, as seen in my new Threads. It looks like fun! Thanks!

Re: Facing a Facing

I have never used silk organza. Is it machine washable? Great article!

Re: Project Runway: What's Mine is Yours

I thought the winner's project looked like a nightgown. I thought Andy, Gretchen and Michael C did better work. At least, I would wear them.

Re: Project Runway - Season 7 Finale

I like Mila's collection and could see myself in almost everything, but Emilio's colors and print is wonderful! I think Emilio would have gotten my vote.

Re: Project Runway - Season 7 Finale

Yes, Seth Aaron is a fab designer, but I really didn't like the purple dress!!

Re: The Circular Ribbon Flower

The flower is lovely. Thank you for such clear and easy directions. I love your work. Karen
