Somehow that made me feel Really Old... <br /><br />I use tailor's tacks for anything I can't snip mark, too, but I'd never seen the quick technique she used to do them.<br /><br />And...have you ever heard of --what'd she call it-- 'Tacking' thread?

The presenter had some interesting techniques. I'm familiar with tailor tacks but had never seen a dart done that way either.NancyDaQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00609215745927535353noreply@blogger.com
