Talked to DIL to be Sara this morning and she and her Mom were working on fixing the hem. Sara was feeling better and I think she is okay with how it will turn out. Her Mom is a sweetie and helped Sara relax a little.

Wedding is June 8th and it's coming up fast!

I have a gammill quilting machine and they told me when you have to take a seam out to spray magic sizing on the holes and they will close up. I tried this and it works on quilt shop quality fabric but not to well on the bargin fabrics I have tried a warm iron on it after the startch dries and it works too. (Just a longarm quilters secret). You can try it on a scrap piece first. Hope this works.

Nadine2007 ~ I tried your little secret on the satin I have here it worked very well. I have heard of doing it on cottons but never even thought of satin. Thanks for suggesting it.

Maryq ~ This may just be the ticket for the hems of those dresses. I hope it works for you, if not let us know and we will try again.

Happy stitching!!
