Update on Evil Chiffon Monsters

The chiffon behaved without any need for gelatin. The feed dogs didn't eat it, and it didn't fray. But .. I'm not sure I like how it turned out. The french seams keep the curve from laying as flat as it should. This is the pattern . I'll see how it looks after a good pressing, but I may end up using something else for the collar .. it's not like I don't have any other fabric.

I would just stitch, trim and then do a narrow zig zag to enclose the reaw edge and trim again. The zig zag shouldn't be too tightly spaced and if you understitch it would not curl. Just an idea ------ JanieV
