I'm only guessing though. ------ Belinda. Melbourne, Australia http://sew-4-fun.blogspot.com/

Yeah, Unterlegstreifen, to the best of my understanding is underlay strips, but what the heck is Stepperei? Ooooo Belinda! I think you've got it. It does look to be a stabilizing strip for a seam. The great PatternReview Sisterhood does it again!! :-) ------ Leslie

It's 11 o'clock at night and I'm on my way to bed. I hope you're on the way the the machine!!!
