Some thoughts on Sewing

As you know, I like to sew. Most crafts have a skill set, then you mix in personal experience to become more of an artist at the craft. I would like to ponder on a few of my experiences.
  1. Finished seams are a mark of good craftsmanship. 
  2. I like stitch 21 on my Pfaff 2046 Quilt Expression machine as a seam finishing overlock stitch for cotton fabric. . As I was searching for a picture of this stitch, I noticed that Pfaff calls this a "light knit patching stitch."  I like it as a seam finish for cotton because it doesn't bunch up the seam much at all, and it looks a little like serging.

  3. (Oh, I have to finish this later...)
