A quick little video on the narrow hem foot

Thanks to those who sensibly asked me to use contrasting thread in these short videos.

Made a big difference. This is another one of my favourite feet.

Flypaper thoughts Mars edition

•  First
• An apology to all those astronauts who read this blog
• But those who know me well 
• Know that the one thing I have little time for is outer space
• First
• I hate heights
• Second
• And confined spaces
• So the thought of being that many thousands and thousands of miles out there in the dark
• In something without windows...
• And besides the concept of fresh air is irrelevant
• Is past my own personal edges of where common sense is effective
• Also
• Who in their right mind
• Thinks that the world we are to take care of
• Is in such a state that
• Anyone can say
• Done! Now let's go find somewhere else to fix up
• Maybe the search for intelligent life would be worthwhile 
• Here
• On top of outerspace
• I have run out of the good interfacing
• Which is serious enough to have set me off about Mars
• I am sure you are with me on this
• Remember when fusible interfacing looked like a picnic table tablecloth?
• That some one had dotted with Lepages white glue
• And once fused these glue dots seeped through to make dark spots in the fabric
• Which now also had the malleability of the paper plates you set out on that picnic table cloth?
• Fortunately those days are gone, in most cases
• But fusible interfacing survivors can still be found
• Wandering around Joanns, Fabricville, and Spotlight
• Numb with the PTSD of it all
• However a good woven fusible 
• And a good knit fusible (let's hear it for Sewer's Dream if you can order it)
• Are a different story altogether 
• And something you miss enough to get mad at the solar system
• When you thought you had tons and you don't
• I'm thinking these days
• It's time to actively seek out the bright spots
• Closer to home
• For me it was the decision to make sure as many as I can
• Get a chance to find out sewing is fun
• So I had the kids and some friends over to sew yesterday
• Lower the presser foot
• Lower the presser foot they said to each other
• I now no longer need to wonder where I am going to store that big bag of stuffing in my new sewing room
• Everyone made pillows
• Multiple pillows
• Go forward and go backward at the beginning and end of the sewing part
• Don't worry, said the 11 year-old
• It gets easier with experience
• Yes it does
• Yes it does
• And so grounding
