I can hear so much love in your comment, it makes me happy.

That sounds about right to me!

Knits may be quick to sew but to get a quality looking garment you have to put in the time to get the grain straight and the fabric smooth.

I like to lay my fabric out a few hours before cutting to let it relax and re shape. Ball point pins are great as is using a combination of pins and weights.

I bought mine from O+S, sorry Kerrilyn.

I am so glad Melanie helped you, she is so clever at this sort of thing.

When I venture in the scary world (for me) of bag making, I use the cheap stiff iron on interfacing.
Shiny on one side, a bit furry on the other.
