For parts where I need to ease, sleeves for instance, I make smaller tack stitches in the eased part of the seam. I find it makes it easier to stitch the eased part without false creases. <br /><br />hugs,<br /><br />MarianneAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11260517203708400505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176685716195880015.post-78505935622077895582013-06-21T16:25:41.658+01:002013-06-21T16:25:41.658+01:00Hi Muv

I would like to learn to tack like a tailor but I haven't found a thimble to fit my meat hooks yet<br />Hugs<br />GGavin Hendersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05737186300519027548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176685716195880015.post-81138184955342749822013-06-21T16:18:04.236+01:002013-06-21T16:18:04.236+01:00Hi Mary Ellen

I don't know if I put too many or too few or in the wrong place or what. Hand basting could be the solution. Thanks for the advice.<br />Hugs<br />GGavin Hendersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05737186300519027548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176685716195880015.post-4358958691797234192013-06-21T13:45:59.353+01:002013-06-21T13:45:59.353+01:00Hello Gavin,

I like to tack by hand, quarter inch stitches, about an eighth of an inch from the stitching line. If you don't machine over it it pulls out easily.<br /><br />Love,<br />MuvMuvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00734374133479479218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176685716195880015.post-42294083422343365112013-06-21T12:23:46.434+01:002013-06-21T12:23:46.434+01:00This is looking so perfect!

That way there are no pins in the way when you are trying to sew with the machine. Yes, you are correct in your assumption as to the meaning of "basting." It means to temporarily join two pieces together with long stitches. Mary Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04066177625064170284noreply@blogger.com
