At least you can plan your dress now, even if others things are on hold.

I’ve just ordered 968 in both the upholstery weight and a 250m reel of Sew-all.

I know people use two threads at once but don’t think I’ll have much chance of threading a needle with two threads but will have a go.

Sewmuchmore’s stitch looks good when I gave it a try, now all I’ve got to do is cut the damn thing out.  0_0

In the wardrobe / Top stitching thread for denim.
« on: April 04, 2020, 15:01:38 PM »
I’m about to cut out a denim pinafore dress and want to top stitch it in gold/yellow.

There is no thread in the stash that is suitable and as I am self isolating it will have to be bought over t’interweb.

Has anybody got any that they could check the number of.  I usually use Gutermann thread but anything I can get on line would be fine.

Technical Help / Re: Stretchable Flat Felled Seams / Reversible Jumper
« on: March 31, 2020, 10:49:01 AM »
Hi Lalu, sewing a sleeve with a flat fell seam is easy, you attach the sleeve flat before you do the side seams and then stitch the sleeve and side seams in one pass.

I’ve never tried a flat fell sea with a knit but it should be possible. How stable is the knit fabric?  A really stretchy fabric will be harder to sew.

It’s worth a try, let us know how you get on.

If she can stitch clouds like that she can stitch quilt binding. Both projects are lovely.
