I would also alert the beginner to be very careful that the yam is in the right position when switching from purl to knit stitches.

Its a one-pie- ce Gold laine sewing hints By Dale Cavanagh there any special sewing techniques for gold lame? What fabrics are suitable for lining? Discounting tlie expense, is seif lining suitable? A Lame is one of many fabrics made from metallic yarns and other fibers. Since metallic yarns tend to be abrasive and sometimes uncomfortable against the skm, a self lining is unsuitable. More or crepe de chine appropriate would be a silk-lik- e type lining compatible in fiber content with other fibers in the fabric (silk, rayon, polyester, etc.), light m weight yet dense enough to buffer the metallic scratch i ness effectively. Facings should also be cut of lining fabric. Some metallic yams tarnish from moist heat. Test press a sizable scrap. If yours turns color or is otherwise affected, use a press cloth mid dry iron Since woven lame tends to be fray prone, allow generous seams when cutting Pins and hasting marks can remain impressed upon the shiny threads. To avoid visible indentations, pin and baste within the seam allowances. Fit carefully before stitching, ripped stitches can leave holes Fit easily to avoid seams. SI itch with a fine needle, a medium to short stitch length and synthetic thread. Finger press seams open (protect that finger tip w ith a thimble) and finish seams promptly to forestall further fraying. Overcast edges by hand, zigzag, straight stitch, overedge by machine or bind with bias strips of lining fabric.

The muslin fitted perfectly. However, when I finished the garment (swatches enclosed) the bodices sweetheart neckline stood away from the body when I sat. Also, the back neckline pushed up and the sleeveless armhole cut my arm. What went wrong. How can I correct the problem in the future. I underlined the garment. Could this have affected the fit? A. When a garment rides up in the way you describe it usually indicates that it is fitted too snugly. This does not necessarily mean you need a larger size, where shoulder and neckline are different, but it does mean you need more ease between you and the garment. All commercial patterns allow ease over their listed body measurements. You know when you buy a pattern by body measurements that you can count on enough extra space for your size so you can move, sit, bend and walk in that garment. As the girth (flesh) increases so does the neon for extra ease. Thus, a slender bony frame requires less ease proportionately than a well rounded, fleshy figure For example, a major pattern manufacturer uses the following ease allowances for a simple fitted inches 18.3 cm) dress with a set-i- n sleeve: Bust Misses and Juniors, 4 inches (11.1 cm) Half Size, 41'a inches (11.5 cm) Womens Sizes. Waist 12 inch to l1 inches (1.3 to 3 8 cm), Hip 2W inches to 3 inches (0.3 to fray-pron- 7 5 cm). All of which means you should he able to grub a fold of that much extra fabric at the bust, waist and hips of a finished garment without strain for a Fabric also affects fit.
