Keep Calm and Pell On!

A project that is still in the development phase is the organization of interfacing. Every seamstress needs a selection of different interfacings I started keeping each kind in a gallon size zip lock bag with the directions for application and care. I am also in the process of putting together a sample book that has made up pieces with various appropriate fabrics and interfacings so I can use the information to decide on the interfacing for a project.

Bernina Bits

I put together a small reference book that will contain the settings of works in progress. Sometimes in the middle of a project, I have to break away from the machine and slip in another  project. When I go back, it is difficult to remember the settings for zigzag width, needle position and stitch length.

One side of the page will contain the specs and the other side a small stitched sample.
