I don't have a problem with stretch velvet.  It's the real old
fashioned stuff that drives me nuts and keeps me from working with it
as much as possible.

I have been scanning the post about learning to sew and textiles.  This morning
I had a little extra time and thought I would share some tips that I use when
working with velvet, both stretch and woven.

I have a Pfaff with the even feed foot and a Singer with a walking foot.  Both
work well with velvet but I do prefer the Pfaff because the foot is built in
instead of an attachment.

Each still requires a little extra preparation when working with velvet.

1. when I cut two layers of velvet I put the wrong sides together, I mark the
selvage with arrows to remind me which way is up for the nap.

2. after cutting the pattern piece but before moving it from its position on my
cutting table I mark each cut edge at 12 to 18 inch intervals.

3. match the markings along a seam to be stitched by pinning across the
stitching line

4. grasp the velvet at each pinned interval, holding the velvet with my thumb
under the velvet and fingers on top, I then rotate my hand toward the machine so
that my thumb is up and top of hand is toward the machine. This creates tension
and gives me control of the fabric.

5. stitch seam until hand holding the velvet is close to the presser foot, be
sure to "needle down" before grasping the next pinned interval.

It takes a little longer to stitch a seam but I have had great success using
these techniques and can stitch a 2 yard seam with the top and bottom coming out
even.

I hope you find this helpful!

Costume satin is lighter weight and does not have the body of a Bridal or
Duchese Satin.

An easy indicator is the price per yard.  Costume satin is much less expensive.

When I have to use costume satin I underline it to give it extra body. 
Underlining helps to tame creases and wrinkling.

I'd love to try your technique but I dont think I grasp it fully.
You should make a YOuTube video of it.

Yeah, the SCA is a world-wide organization.  There may not be a group that's
local to you, but there's definitely one somewhere in your area.  It's just a
matter of finding them.

And, in my experience, there are a lot of SCA folk who celebrate those same
holidays (not necessarily in the same way as you...I don't know anyone that has
special vestments for their celebrations, but I do know a lot of them who much
prefer Yule to Christmas...*grin*)

And, yes--YahooGroups does not allow attachments to messages.  They used
to...until they had a major problem with someone spreading virus programs via
the attachments.  Rather than figure out some method of examining all the
potential attachments for viral content, they just disabled the feature.  So,
you can either attach links (as you did), or post images to the 'files' or
'photos' section of the group page.

Well, I have always looked to Laurie Cabot as a bit of a role-model (It must be
a Pisces-thing, as we have such similar tastes!) and have always wanted to
create a set of robes very similar to those that she wears during the Sabbats
(our word for "holidays"); and, with a simple change in the color of silk I can
customize them for any Sabbat, such as green for Beltane, or gold/ yellow for
Midsummer, etc.

Oh, what a good idea!  YouTube vids. on learning to sew!!!







[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Totally OT, but I had to post a link to this AMAZING recipe I made today! 
Usually baking recipes from MS don't turn out for me!  But, this one ROCKS!  it
was the first cake-like cake that I've ever had success with to date...  Def.
one to keep in my repertoire...  Though, it was the topping that came out odd
(almost like moist and greasy play dough, rather than a crumbly topping), so I
might make a brown sugar icing for it, next tome I make it.  And, I allowed my
bananas to get just a little over-ripe in the outside before making this.  And,
def. test it in the center with a tooth pick!  Gods bless my French blue Kitchen
Aid!  :o)  Anyhoo....I was so impressed with this recipe that I totally had to
share.

The SCA is EVERYwhere...!  :-)

Iowa is part of the Kingdom of Calontir - http://calontir.org/
They actually have a pretty spiffy map on their website that should help you
locate the nearest "local" group.

I started out making "costumes" for SCA events and many SCAdians are incredibly
helpful when it comes to sewing and costuming.

I need to make space suits that will be worn for a year around camp situation. 
They will need to washable, are going to be "boned" to create puffiness, worn by
kids and adults, and in general, hard worn.

The materiel that was approved can no longer be ordered, so I now have nothing
and I have to build a prototype by the 18th of June.   They want a shiny,
material (like the shuttle suits) that is durable.  I need something that I can
easily sew, and would like something that is breathable and washable.  I am also
trying to keep it under $20 a yard, but will need Large amount of yardages!

So, PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

I am looking for a pattern for a cowl neck sleeveless or ?? long dress cut
on bias would be nice as well. I need to make a black satin nightgown.

Thank you all for your help

Hello!
Does anyone know when vinyl/plastic tailor's measuring tapes became popular? I
haven't found any references so far as to when a shift from cloth to plastic
would have occurred. I am trying to get this information accurate for a
professional stage production.
Thank you so much!

Maybe cotton/lurex would work? It's easy to sew, washable, breathable  and $6.00
yd. on this site. ( I have never ordered from this site, just an example) I
don't know now durable it would be for that project, though.

I am considering buying a coverstitch machine for sewing knits.  My
serger just doesnt cut it.  I have noticed what are called cover hem
machines on ebay for about $400 and am wondering how well they work.
Or do I need to buy an industrial one for over $1000? Anyone have any
experience here?

As before, love Janome.  They have a coverstitch machine that's around $600 and
it works great.  Makes lovely smooth hems on knits.  I've played with the one
at
the store, saving up to take it home eventually :-)
Best,
Jess
