Elaray said... Thanks for this review. I just finished a Kwik Sew project and you are absolutely right about the sleeve. They fit in beautifully! I have this pattern in the plus-size range, but I haven't tried to make it yet. Your review will be helpful to me when I make it. 5/16/07 6:17 AM

AnneM said... Very professional looking jacket. (No, the thread never co-operates by running out when it would be convenient, now does it? ! ) 5/25/07 9:28 PM
Big Dog said... Oh yes the joys of topstitching on corduroy, yikes. I made this jacket(view A) in a stretch corduroy and had the same issues with the topstitching, it's not you or your machine, it IS the fabric. After pulling out the topstitching three times I just decided to live with it. And at 3 feet away it actually doesn't look that bad at all. 12/8/08 9:32 AM
