Awesome demonstration. Six main-stay stitches to be used in some many applications. Thank you!
Thank you for the clear and concise instruction. I am hand sewing on to the body of a robe three patch pockets, one upper and two lower. Also, I will hand sew to set in the sleeves and attach the sleeve lining. Right now, I feel all thumbs but after watching you and with patience I feel I will succeed.
