Would that be an option for you?<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Dritz-Stitch-Witchery-Regular-Tape/dp/B0001DSIHI" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Dritz-St.....B0001DSIHI</a><br /> They have different strengths for different fabrics. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sewing-question-for-san#post-85193 Sun, 09 Aug 2009 18:24:48 +0000 chewyspaghetti 85193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is the edge actually a raw edge or is it finished, like with a serger where there is thread binding the raw edge? Knits can be really tricky, because they strech. You might consider a tailor for this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sewing-question-for-san#post-85178 Sun, 09 Aug 2009 17:11:03 +0000 kellygirl 85178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not San, but if I were to do it I'd use a rotary cutter. It's like a pizza wheel that cuts on a special cutting mat. Do you have any friends that quilt or sew? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sewing-question-for-san#post-85170 Sun, 09 Aug 2009 16:28:49 +0000 Alecia 85170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>San -</p> <p>I want to shorten this dress.<br /> <a href="http://i508.photobucket.com/albums/s330/sasisierra7/YLF/YLFOct11/100_9078.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i508.photobucket.com/al.....0_9078.jpg</a></p> <p>It's a knit. It doesn't have a finished hem so I think I could just cut it. But I don't want to do it and end up with a hackeyed hem. Do you have any advice for me to get a clean cut?</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
