Welcome everyone to the bi-weekly Thread Thread, a once every other week post of all things sewing. Join us to discuss, ask questions and learn everything you've ever wanted to talk about, ask or discover about sewing. We include anything you can make with fabric, needle and thread.
Share with us some or you designs and ideas on how to become more self-sufficient by making your own clothing, home decor or anything else.
Anyone else have any new projects started, finished or somewhere in between?
I don't do a lot of projects with knit fabrics, but one of the previous posts we talked about getting a straight edge. What's your preferred method for getting a straight edge on knits?
Thread thread ping.
I like to sew too. Have you ever heard about or used the Lutterloh system? It is a German company started in the 1930s. Also I’ve looked into the Sure-Fit sewing system and thought about it too. Anyway the reason is I’m 5’2” and weigh about 111 pounds. I have to alter regular sewing patterns anyway.
I have not heard of this system before. I’m built like the Great Pyramid, so I have to alter everything I make. Thanks for mentioning this. I will check into it.
I haven’t heard of either of those things. I’m going to check them out.
