Re: DVD GIVEAWAY: Threads Magazine Archive, 1985-2011

Joining the crowd of me, too's. Whenever I thumb through one of my archive issues, I discover a new sewing tip or other valuable information. Each edition seems to generate new copy just by sitting on my bookshelf.

Re: Staying a Neckline and Armhole

Does this technique work on knits, too, or does it eliminate the stretch factor?

Re: Create an Illusion Mesh Edge

I love this. I have several sleeveless RTW tops that are finished that way, and it updates an otherwise no-frills design. The serged edges don't show. I will print and save this technique.

One caveat: I've sewn with mesh knit and it melts quickly when touched with a hot iron. So be very careful when ironing and test first.
