But it's good to know more than one technique here (isn't that always the way in sewing?!). I learned this one from a 50s sewing pattern. It's nice to be able to use it on an edge that doesn't have a separate facing or lining (like a hem). Also, you can add it on after construction if you like, or to an existing garment.Gertiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04314542159287533507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-76164814414269368542012-07-06T19:42:00.656-04:002012-07-06T19:42:00.656-04:00I have to agree with Kassem and a couple of others...I have to agree with Kassem and a couple of others..

That way all that's visible on the outside is one row of "humps", and the other side is tucked inside, behind the lining. No topstitching necessary, either. It's a fairly simple process, but easiest with regular or jumbo rick rack, not the tiny stuff.Toni Gatlinhttp://www.tonigatlin.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-22927926179917706922012-07-06T13:28:12.488-04:002012-07-06T13:28:12.488-04:00Cute dress and Rosie is adorable.
