Date: 11/6/12 6:32 PM You don't have to put in a hem, you can leave the edge raw. Did a search on that # and couldn't find it. ------
My grandmother taught me to sew when I was 10, and I've been sewing ever since. |

Date: 11/6/12 7:03 PM I had taken a suede jacket to the tailor to shorten the sleeves. He glued them. He stated that for suede and leather, he'll use glue rather than sewing. It looks better and holds better. |
