Date: 8/14/12 10:51 AM Take 10 inches of fabric and stretch it. If it stretches 12.5 inches with ease the stretch is 25% If it stretches 15 inches with ease the stretch is 50% If it stretches 17.5 inches with ease the stretch is 75% IF it stretches 20 inches with ease the stretch is 100% Woggy

Both methods work. ------ 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.
