You would do that to your whole piece you are hemming, then in the second picture I pulled it taut to the 1 1/2″…[Read more]

And I also agree re the storing of the Liesl & Co PDFs – they are tricky – since they are not one huge sheet like my other PDFs, they don’t fit in with my rolled up storage system. I think that I shall emulate Nicole and start…[Read more]
