Tame Fabrics With Tissue Paper

Threads #186, Aug./Sept. 2016

In this article from Threads #186 (August/September 2016), Abby Riba shares some tips on how to use tissue paper to your advantage. She writes:

You’ll be set to sew fine seams in delicate fabrics. Try using it when sewing narrow hems, too.
