What organza would you suggest me look for?

(A $20 fabric for $4 a yard- so great). So out comes the sewing reference manual to learn how to make bound buttonholes. I looked through my sewing reference book, the method I understood the easiest was the organza patch method. What type of organza would you recommend me looking for?

You can also use muslin, if it's thin; featherweight interfacing, or even nylon. And you know you don't need a lot. ------ "We don't impose our rhythm on Nature.

Every time I sew with natural fibers, I seem to get a superior result. ------ Mary http://checkmatesystem.com
