Yea, I am finally finished hemming the banner on all four sides. Only had the thread to know up on me twice. Thats when I discovered I needed to use the taller quart jar. I had to go really slow as well. It was not bad, but not my favorite thing to sew with. Also this thread is very expensive. I told my family they had better leave that one alone. thanks everyone for all of your wonderful advise. It sure saved me a lot of headaches.
