That is the first thing we learned when we took sewing in 4-H club. We made a skirt without a pattern. Boy that brings back a lot of memories...

THANK YOU!!! :-D

I was taught the selvage end thing too (holding it so it hangs straight), and had heard about "pulling a thread." But I had never seen it done. Thank you so much for giving this ol' girl another new trick.

You rock. Thanks for the information. I had always hear about doing this, but didn't know how.
|
Very good job explaining this. Like so many other posters, I also learned to do this as a first step in Home Ec. class!

I have a Pfaff sewing machine and the even feed foot is on the machine and they use it as a marketing idea. My machine is over 15 yrs old and they are on their machines today. Love my machine. I did buy a "big Foot" for free motion quilting. Your Quilting store could tell you where they are available. There are other names for them I am certain.

:mrgreen: Surprise! I just went to the kitchen for a glass of water and found a box from Connecting Threads. DH did not tell me I had a pkg. It's so exciting to open a box of fabric. I always forget what I order. |
I never had a home ec class. This is all news to me! Thank you so much for sharing. I'm gonna try it!
