Great. Seemed like more hassle than I feel I need right nowI use ordinary thread with a high poly count I tried woolly thread and it didnt go well.
Ah, because the rolled hem gives you a narrower seam. Nice trick.If your using a three thread you will need to add an extra line of stitching with an ordinary machine on the stretch. I have found now that I just set the overlocker or serger on rolled hem and stitch whilst stretched for neater seams and edges.
I need to have a closer look at that. Interesting solution.I have tried every possible way to add bindings but have found the flattest and neatest look, so far is to make a strip of binding using clear elastic using a twin needle on an ordinary machine. This is basically wrapping a piece of lycra around a length of elastic and sewing it whilst stretched. then sew this around the neck and arms. (photo below of finished leo)
Good tip!Don't sew in the same order on the jalie patterns, I do one shoulder then neck whilst its folded out which is much easier then other shoulder then add sleeves without centre seam done then do the sleeve cuff then sew from the bottom of the sleeve up to the armpit and down the side in one seam. I then to the crotch and then legs.
I got overly excited when I noticed Jalie had a sale on and bought a PDF pattern so I didn't have to wait
Not that I've had time to do anything more than try to figure out sizings, this whole getting a child to school on time routine sure takes it out of you!
Thanks for all of the details. Bring on the weekend!
