I always use a ZZ on my knits. It looks just fine, and holds up to heavy wear. Oh, wait, tiday I am adding a hem band to a tee because the fabric is a tissue knit and will stretch out I think if I just ZZ the hem.

I loved the blind hem. Once I got my fabric folded juuuuust right, no problem all with the stitching. And I got the zigzag hem in knit idea from you..... thank you so much for all you share!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09872753120191298033[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748043061128192357.post-236556294598871302014-08-16T06:59:37.856-04:002014-08-16T06:59:37.856-04:00Very pretty top and skirt. I love the colour of your slubby fabric.

I think with the tee, a very good save. The fact that the stretch the wrong way is underneath and the stretch the right way is on the outside, probably makes this work - the outer layer will not be so snug. I agree, the zig zag looks great - straight stitch wobble style is still not elastic enough, I have found, and this finish looks just as good. I don't see why why we should copy RTW finishes - they are not that wonderful, always. A bit of uniqueness is warranted, I think:). Aren't blind hems a life save in a not quite enough fabric situation.

All that sewing experience pays off, doesn't it? I think the slightly flared skirt with the fitted top gives a lovely silhouette. And you've made me realize I need one more Kirsten for my Oregon trip - better get cracking!Nancy Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07170715858578595322[email protected]
