I don't understand the "uncut". I have an appropriate amount of ordinary corduroy. How do I know if it's "uncut"? Woops, I originally said 6448, but I meant McCall 6447. -- Edited on 1/14/12 10:27 AM -- -- Edited on 1/15/12 8:44 AM -- ------ Sondra

Make sure all the nap is going down ward when you pin the pattern to it. You just might have a funny piece with the nap going upward and thats you don't want. You can feel which way the nap is laying just by putting your hand over it. Stroke it down is the way you want it. stroke it up is not the way you want it. Hope this answer your question. -- Edited on 1/14/12 10:59 AM -- ------ Galatians 5:22-23 The Spirit produces love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility, and self-control.

It looks and acts a lot like velvet. Edited to add - you can see a sample here -- Edited on 1/14/12 10:56 AM -- ------ Sewing is my therapy!

I guess I'll use my corduroy elsewhere. Sondra, I'm not 100% sure what pattern you're using (the M6448 I found was silly fleece hats for little kids), but there shouldn't be any reason you couldn't use your regular corduroy in a pattern that calls for uncut/no-wale cord. It will have the same general weight, hand and behavior, whether it's cut into wales or not. ------ ~Gem in the prairie
mastdenman   Intermediate CA USA Member since 1/12/04 Posts: 5843	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 1/15/12 0:27 AM I believe uncut or waleless corduroy can be used for any project that regular corduroy can be used for. It does look richer or more expensive when used for a jacket. ------ Marilyn January 2009 to January 2010 81 yards out and 71yards in January 2010 to the present 106.7 yards out and 146.5 yards in.
