Wouldn't have bothered adding my two cents in given that it appears others more expert than I have spoken...but, yeah....like Prudence the Bear said....that "blind hem" thing I do is like a ladder stitch....works well and the key is, as she says, not to pull too tautly. rTheCrankyCrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16314851714923955216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4736705671514488281.post-24617811727164472742012-11-27T20:39:51.016-05:002012-11-27T20:39:51.016-05:00The only way mine came out decent using that metho...The only way mine came out decent using that method, was to machine hem four sides of a matching patch and then glue over the slit.

I would pick out the seam and stuff through there.Myrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07741221320024368418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4736705671514488281.post-54093306297576701182012-11-27T18:12:44.137-05:002012-11-27T18:12:44.137-05:00Oh wow!

Where can you get them?<br /><br />I am not glad that you made that mistake but I am glad to see that I'm not the only one who does stuff like that. That's when I just toss it to the side and run away muttering something like "why do I even try?" <br />Don't give up!<br /><br />I absolutely L.O.V.E cardinals! I would really like to put a feeder up where I can see it from my stitching spot for the Winter. I'll put that on Masterchief's list.<br /><br />:o)Peggy Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11719096552002968247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4736705671514488281.post-79219953472876787092012-11-27T17:57:11.296-05:002012-11-27T17:57:11.296-05:00What is the name of the second set of dishes that&...What is the name of the second set of dishes that's now is the running?

Don't tug at the thread but firmly close. The slit thingy gives her hives (honest) so she knows what you mean.<br /><br />Hugs<br />Prudence ♥The Bear's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15386513066166280641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4736705671514488281.post-70635211490338985492012-11-27T15:27:39.271-05:002012-11-27T15:27:39.271-05:00Deep breaths and prayer Shirlee.
