One thing I ended up doing that I found useful, was when stitching the lining to the zipper tape, I used the invisible zipper foot (I have a cheap $5 one) with the zipper in the groove and the needle on the outside - that way I knew where the zipper coil was and could stitch at an even distance.<br />Thanks again for your wonderful tutorials!PenguinGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16549842875566213709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198660701949089916.post-40217071604110952602013-03-29T16:42:01.237-04:002013-03-29T16:42:01.237-04:00Trena, never mind.

However it really looks like nice technique that I'd love to learn and use.<br /><br />I've seen the Video tutorial you made for lining the dress using a machine and it made so much sense to me.<br /><br />Could i please put in a request - Would it be possible for you to do a video tutorial for this technique please?? <br /><br />Its just a request. Please feel free to ignore if you can't do it. And yes, I'd really understand if you were not able to do so. Tutorials do take so much time/effort/energy.<br /><br />KayKayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04990191457997877760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198660701949089916.post-42871021166767580232012-06-27T09:10:02.603-04:002012-06-27T09:10:02.603-04:00Good tutorial.

I think it is because these instructions may be hard to explain in paper format? <br /><br />Dawn at Two On Two Off posted a similar tutorial with a facing last summer. I am embarrassed to admit that it took me a while to realize that the method could be used on dresses as well.
