I then turn it inside and do a twin needle topstitch. When I compare my two leotards, the applciation with the serger is much nicer than what I could muster with the sewing machine. Oh, I also found on my lighter colored leotard that I had backfat. Yuck. I'm going to underline it next time with either powernet or knit tricot.cidellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13762649326538041094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7236449875936881620.post-84411548864892746672010-10-19T23:06:22.563+02:002010-10-19T23:06:22.563+02:00I hope you're having a wonderful holiday!

I have not been one to buy/advocate fancy sewing notions, but I just love a twin needle (and having used them for a while now, I see no reason for a coverstitch machine, if that gives me any credibility).The Slapdash Sewisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11668474749166329852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7236449875936881620.post-92042123619175031202010-10-18T23:31:30.346+02:002010-10-18T23:31:30.346+02:00Oh my goodness the leoptard is AWESOME!

No point in acting like you want to fade into the background, may as well enjoy yourself fully.<br />I understand not wanting a serger, but a double needle takes no special equipment whatsoever. Well, a second spool of thread, but I often use a bobbin for that. You just plonk it down somewhere it won't tangle, and run the thread in exactly the same places as the main thread. Cost - maybe 3E? It does work best... looks good, and gives elasticity to the hem.Marie-Christinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7236449875936881620.post-20128158156642992042010-10-07T04:05:15.757+02:002010-10-07T04:05:15.757+02:00Love the leotard, been years since I wore one.Love the leotard, been years since I wore one.Faye Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02781186043996633965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7236449875936881620.post-14310612383163925682010-10-06T22:41:57.448+02:002010-10-06T22:41:57.448+02:00Good on you ...
