Thanks so much everyone!
I made a dress for my niece yesterday. I think it came out great if you consider the fabric fought me all the way and I had to french seam almost all of the seams. It was a waffle weave that just wanted to string off the ends once cut. I finally had to iron on a strip cut from light weight interfacing to the cuts to make them stop on the only two seams I left exposed. Sheesh... that dress was a challenge!
