said... Claudine, you gotta get fasturn! I also used to wonder what these simple tubes can do but now I know why its so popular with sewers. the cheapest price I found on the net was on n-stitches.com but it will take a while for it to get delivered and if you dont mind that go ahead. I think I paid $27 with shipping. 7/10/02 9:53 PM
said... I haven't got a spaghettistrap instrument, I'm usin a thin cross-stich needle, tieing the thread ends to the needle-eye and pushing it inside the tube carefully, pushing forword until it comes out of the other end and voila there it is. But I probaply will get the fine gadget your all talking about is it of steel, a length os a stockingneedle with a hook and a clasp in the other end because if it is I think it cost about 20$ here. 7/11/02 1:14 AM
said... Claudine, if you haven't tried the panties in this pattern, consider doing so. They are an odd cut--no side seams but a CB seam, but it's great. This means a very smooth side, and a contoured derriere--nice for those of us who are gradually losing "contour" due to gravity and lack of gym-time! Very very quick--best done in a stretchy nylon/lycra, though nylon tricot works well too. 7/13/02 10:20 PM
