Date: 7/11/10 1:44 PM If you've been wanting to sew a little knit top, that's just what we're going to do! I've a crazy schedule today, but will post more info & details tomorrow. We'll be doing a round or scoop-neck top, cap, short or long sleeves, with a neckline band and hemming. You can use a sewing machine, or a serger...or both! I'll post a range of patterns I recommend, along with pattern size and fabric tips. We'll pretreat and prepare the fabric, and practise various stitches to determine which we prefer. Then we'll get to the juicy part...sewing a little knit top! ------ I heart Panzy, Pfaff Creative Performance, the sewing machine love of my life! And Rupert (Pfaff 2023), Baby (BL Enlighten), Victor (BLCS), Ash (Bernina 350SE), Pal (Bernina 530), Kee (Bernina 750) and the Featherteen Flock! Most of all, I heart Woo (HimmyCat). Until we meet again, my beautiful little boy. I love you.

What a great learning experience :D. I've made two knit pieces so far, tops, and have had issues with wavy hems on one side of my raglan sleeves and the bottom hem. Otherwise, I love the drape of the knits I've been using. Yummy! Looking forward to it! leu -- Edited on 7/11/10 2:18 PM --

Or must they be ordered online? And if online, which is the best place to order from? Thanks :)

I find knits work better with less pressure and a walking foot is great too. ------ Janome10001, Babylock ESG3, Brother ULT 2001, White 634D serger, Pfaff 1472, Singer featherweight, Singer 14T957Dc, Bernina FunLock 009DCC coverlock, Brother PQ1500S, Janome CP900.
