One for the ladies (Bek)...

If the hemming tape fails, clear nail farnish works a treat...I read that in Take a Break

 

He'll be joining the Women's Fellowship or Mothers Union next )

 

yep thats a good 1 also when we want to seal ribbon we burn the edge but you don,t put it close just enough to feel the heat ;D

 

I am an honoury member of the village WI :-[

 

God I am such a failure.

I can't answer any of the tech questions, and now having read this I also can't answer any wimmin's tech questions either.


Meh.

 

there you go zed you didn't need me - am very glad i'm not the only person who can answer sewing questions that would be way too much responsibility. mrs fletch you are brilliant.
you could turn over once and zig zag stitch the edges.

Ha - there you are Bek - You've been busy.

 

i had another thought i'm not sure what your machine is like and what stitch options you have but my machine (not my overlocker) also has an overlock stitch it doesn't cut just goes over the edge to seal the threads, you can do the same with a zig zag stitch but the overlock is neater.

Cheers Bek - I'm still kinda leaning towards glue and irons - I don't have much sewing experience and it's bound to end in tears.
