A quick question for you Rachel (Quinkish). With your Alabama Chanin, are you hand stitching, or machine sewing? In the book they seem to strongly recommend their own thread for strength. What thread are you using?
I am going to attempt the corset but, I am worried as it will be a tight fit, machine thread might not be strong enough, so I am going to hand feel the seam afterwards for added strength, but don't know what thread to buy here in the UK.
