To BarbaraSki and anyone else interested in baskets & peg board:

I found wired narrow rectangular baskets designed to go with closet/kitchen door systems at my local Home Depot. The hooks lined up with my pegboard holes(1/4 inch), so I bent them to the correct angle and inserted them into the peg board holes. Voila! White vinyl covered metal baskets on my white painted peg board. My pressing ham, seam roll, press cloth, spray bottle, starch water bottle and iron cleaner all fit in this basket which is positioned near my ironing table. My ham holder has a hole in one edge, so I hang that above the basket on its own hook.

Also, Ikea sells a metal iron holder, which I found can fit on hooks on pegboard. It wasn't designed for pegboard, but the top has metal rod at the corners, and this rod fits nicely into two U shaped hooks(one on each side of the holder), so ALL my pressing gear in in easy reach of my board.

Leeza asked for tips on clipping/notching when you need to under-stitch. In addition to the tip she was given, I would likt to add:
When you understitch, you may want to do that by hand in tricky places. The reason is that when you machine understitch across these clips/notches, you can wind up undoing the 'give' and flex you added with the notches by stitching down the notches into the facing layer. If you hand understitch, you can avoid that by not biting the facing layer when crossing the notches, but allowing the thread to "float", e.g. not "bite", across those gaps.

Learning to adjust a serger is challanging, but it is worth it!

Sergers add options to your finishing and sewing, but oh my, learning to adjust them!! However, it is worth it.

I loved reading the article in Threads & this one on-line.

Does anyone know if the show of these minatures is traveling to any locations? If so, might you share that information? I would dearly love to see this in person...

Vionette had such mastery of her fabrics & her draping is, of course, simply legendary.

(1) The first sentence of instructions: "Secure the thread at the edge of the fabric." is not shown. Since this stitch often goes all the way around a blanket or opening, I've always had an issue making/getting the begininning and ending of the thread to be less visible--it would be nice to have some help here. We can't see how that thread is secured in the photos.

(2) I agree with Tedd1y & NancyT comments about detailed instructions on darning/weaving, etcetera. It would have great application on vintage clothing as well.
