My granddaughter, Shoshana, and my husband, Stan, following their interest in music, started watching musicals with 50's themes. Shoshana decided she just had to have a poodle skirt for Halloween...

Re: Shaped Twisted Bias Insertions

Ooops. Thank you to author gailete for the suggestion of incorporating into a quilt.

FiberArtiste: to print, go to the top of the article. There is a small inset box with the option to PRINT.

Re: Shaped Twisted Bias Insertions

Very interesting. I am especially intrigued by FiberArtiste's suggestion of incorporating into art quilts.

I wish I'd been able to locate the prior 2 articles referenced in this one about other insertion methods.

Re: Book Giveaway: "Threads Sewing Guide"

I came late learning to sew and now my granddaughters, who live with us, also want to learn. I know I can use all the help I can get.

Re: Magazine Giveaway: "Quick Stuff to Sew"

Sounds interesting.

Re: Book Giveaway - Sewing For Children

Started teaching my granddaughter to sew last year (now 7) and have been stumped for ideas to help her learn. Looking forward to seeing this book.

Re: Book Giveaway: Successful Serging

I started with a basic serger from Brother and had nothing but problems with it. A few years ago, I bought a BabyLock imagine and it works great. But I've never been able to master any of the specialty feet or stitches. Any help would be most appreciated.

Re: Machine Quilt a Supple and Stylish Garment

That's it? How do you deal with the bulk in the seams? How did you get the effects of channels on the back of the jacket? What about collars and/or cuffs? What kind of style is best suited this type of quilted jacked (what kinds of patterns should I look for). Great idea, just wish there had been more information.

Re: Mark a Dart and Learn a No-Tie Finish

Darts have given me headaches since I started learning to sew (about 7 years ago). This is looks so easy and I can't wait to try it on my next "darted" project!

Re: A Figure-Flattering Tee

There are some construction elements I don't understand. For example, it says "Hem the back and front separately". If so doing, then how do you complete the components and not have the side seams showing after you attach the front and back? Same question for the sleeves.

Re: Redondo and Hermosa

I was looking at the web site for Studio Tantrum and unable to identify the pattern. Could you tell me the name of the pattern you used for this very cute dress? Thank you.
