When I'm doing patchwork I don't pin is quicker than tacking.......
Examples of Past Work ~ Embroidery Design Albums
Fabric Galleries ~ My Craft Blog It depends a fair bit on what I'm making .
I don't tack ever.
If I need to sew over.

I was hoping someone could explain how to sew on Cadet 2nd. Lt. insignia? Should I cut the blue area or fold it back and sew it?
Thanks!

It makes it so that the corners don't fray as easily or become... .
Two on the other sides and do the same, then sew it to your uniform.

What sound, sounds, or words would be most likely to be heard in your sewing room?
Mine would be:
"Darn, that intersection is off again."
"CAT! Get off of that!!"
and
"Ha ha ha ha stayin' alive, stayin' alive..." (or similar era music)
What about you?...

**Sigh** And then the door closing behind me when I turn around over the sound of the machine--and not others calling me! Mostly said by DH " Didn't we have something to sew with my new baby!

With my pins? Scissors? Ruler? etc.
