However, I haven't even taken them out of the package. One of these days, I'll get around to using them. I also have specialty scissors for different projects but forget where they are when sewing. This month my sewing has been community service projects. I have made 5 blankets for the Salvation Army's homeless shelter and 7 adult bibs for a nursing home. I still have some more baby blankets to make as gifts and DD's dorm room curtains. Then I can either start on Christmas gifts or sew something for me. I think I will sew for me as I haven't made anything new for myself in over a year. Have fun with your ruffler.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18642968.post-16987439316463589002007-09-24T09:50:00.000-05:002007-09-24T09:50:00.000-05:00Dawn, I've heard that those welt-pocket jigs are g...Dawn, I've heard that those welt-pocket jigs are great...but I've not broken down and purchased one yet!<BR/><BR/>I bet if you posted about it on one of the sewing boards someone would have a reference that would explain how to use it!Lisa Lareehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11516986664460840579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18642968.post-68778454809402890402007-09-24T09:10:00.000-05:002007-09-24T09:10:00.000-05:00A ruffler is a cool thing, indeed.

It's easiest though, to work with long strips of the fabric to be ruffled, ruffle to the end of where you need it, then trim the rest off. <BR/><BR/>I bought (actually it was free) a brass or copper welt pocket maker at an estate sale recently. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to work it!dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05106577421276201593noreply@blogger.com
