Did you find it affected the flow of the skirt? I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product.Miriamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10393856921308154379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18007802.post-1161118642188236872006-10-17T16:57:00.000-04:002006-10-17T16:57:00.000-04:00Hi Cat, welcome to my blog.

If my fabric is VERY prone to fray, I will even run around each cut piece once with a straight stitch, before I put them together or handle the pieces much. And if it frays a lot, don't clip the seam allowances, otherwise the seams themselves will fail.<BR/><BR/>ML, I thought you had forgotten about the F and C temperature differences!JuliaRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10795348297295716491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18007802.post-1160669880678433222006-10-12T12:18:00.000-04:002006-10-12T12:18:00.000-04:00Oh, that makes sense then.

I'm getting ready to make a jacket myself from fabric that looks like it might fray, and your treatment of the seams may be just the ticket!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05689211448917360129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18007802.post-1160599970263028822006-10-11T16:52:00.000-04:002006-10-11T16:52:00.000-04:00Hoo, too funny ML.

In January we get from your 20F (-6C) to about -22F (-30C). Brr!<BR/>As for the skirt, it's done already but I'm just getting around to blogging about it now. Next, a computer case for hubby and then on with the "jacket" thingy. I think I will have to do flat fells for that.JuliaRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10795348297295716491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18007802.post-1160599500305253622006-10-11T16:45:00.000-04:002006-10-11T16:45:00.000-04:00That's some nice looking, but challenging fabric. ...That's some nice looking, but challenging fabric. That would make a very pretty skirt. Too funny about Thanksgiving being sunny, but in the 20s. We don't have that kind of temperature here until January. Can't wait to see the finished product!MLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15818786098417686889noreply@blogger.com
