hemming and hawing ...
So, did I take this photo to show off the tidy rolled hem stitch on my serger or the cool depth-of-field effect I've been able to get with the manual settings on my camera?
Though I am thrilled to be getting better with my camera, I really did take the photo to have a visual record of the rolled hem stitch. I managed to get it right with this batch of cloth wipes (hemmed them for my sister to give to a friend), whereas when I made a set for Madeline, I had accidently used a flat hem stitch. How would I be able to remember all of my sewing mishaps without this blog? Both stitches do the job nicely - the flat hem is more delicate, and the rolled hem more substantial. I am not sure if I'm a fan of the wooly nylon thread yet, though - it take a bit more tweaking than I'm used to in order to get the tension right.
That is fabulous job! I hope to stitch better someday. My mom is a tailor so I feel like I have to be good:)
