Oh pageant dresses you must be really good, post some photos of your work I would love to see them, LOL my sister calls me a dog pageant mom
thanks for the tip. do you baste by hand or with the machine on the largest stich, I think I will try that, with a dog size outfit it really does not take that long to go the extra step
I am also learning that for some of my first seams that I run that might be a bit difficult for me, like making a smooth curve. I don't run it forward and back, this way seam ripping is a bit easier, in case of have to take it out. But if I am happy with my work I just go back over the ends a few times to secure the stitching.
LOL where is Kathy when you need her, she usually has some good pointers.
