  • Hi Jennifer I can confirm that French seams can be done on the side seams as I have done them myself. I did a 1/4 inch wrong sides together then trimmed to 1/8inch, pressed the seam and turned the whole side through to the inside pinned and stitched again using a 1/4 inch seam. The fact that the arm and body are intact should not make a difference…[Read more]

    I didn’t get very far with the Archers over the weekend. Between a poorly baby and power outages it was a no win. Instead I taped together a few pdf’s in preparation for the next things I want to make. I also traced and cut out a few more things, not too many mind. I measured the boy who seems to have slimmed out slightly (which is always good)…[Read more]

    Never thought it was, dear lady. These ‘things’ are sent to try us; the price of being able to communicate ‘on line’. Dear T, thank you for the tips about ‘spotting’ a spammer/intruder ahead of time. This ‘innocent abroad’ can use all the education she can get; especially, as the more vicious types ie. the ones that want to ransom your files for…[Read more]

    I finished 3 Deer and Doe tees and one drafted from a favourite body shirt (very fitted for wearing under shirts).

    I am not sure what Modal actually is, @needlewoman (off to Google) but it is very stretchy with great recovery but tricky to handle.

    I may have likened it to sewing snot 😉

  • Hi @eboyd83.

    The main thing, with hemming knits, is keeping enough ease and stretch so that the hem doesn’t ‘pop’ when being worn or put on and off.

    I have a cover-stitch machine (which is great when it works). Before that, I used to neaten the raw edge with a zig zag, turn press and then stitch with a large stitch (3.5) stretching in the fabric…[Read more]

    Who would want to wash their face with a rag??? I am picturing old underwear and torn shirts covered in grease and oil – ergh! You’d never get that off your face!

    No I think you are doing the right thing by making lovely linen tea towels😉 That will dry your dishes in no time and then dry themselves just as fast.

  • Hi Shannon, I’m in BC. Surrey Digital Printing. Their website is great. You’re in Oshawa according to your profile. Try 4k Prints. Or google large format printing and the city you live in.

  • Hi Shannon, I’m in BC. Surrey Digital Printing. Their website is great. But, it’s a big country. What province are you in?

    Agreed, @justsewit! I love this little community of ours. Cheers, everyone! xo

  • Tamara replied to the topic Spammer? in the forum off topic 10 years ago

    @renee very often it is a case of the spammer not speaking English as their first language so this is why the language would be unusual. It is similar to things such as stories you would hear in current affairs regarding lonely people having money stolen from these people because they think they enter into a relationship with them. They pray on…[Read more]
