Plain Talker   11 #112 Posted February 23, 2010 It's been snowing, so unfortunately, I shan't be making it to this one, tonight, fellow knitties. I can see it's not too bad at the moment, but I'm mithered that if it gets worse I could be stranded.  The weather forecast threatensit's in to stay, again, and it's going to be pretty bad, for the next few days, so I don't want to take any chances.  sorry hopefully, God-willing, I shall be there in a fortnight's time.  I was so looking forward to hearing about the fun at the pancake pop-in too :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
decdore   10 #113 Posted February 25, 2010 i know this is technically for the knitting group but i also know you are a multi talented bunch so thought someone might be able to help me. I need some assistance learning how to sew with elasticated thread - i'm trying to make a dress and things and no matter what i do its just not working!  any help much appreciated.

k8ndaz   10 #117 Posted February 26, 2010 are you stretching the elastic as you sew it on??? xx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
decdore   10 #118 Posted February 26, 2010 it's the thread itself that is elastic? I'm not sewing a band of elastic on - so no i'm not stretching it but the machine is presumably doing something of that sort? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
