Re: slick sorta Hong Kong finish

That is a great finish, even though I had to read it about 10 times, It is
past my bedtime. :~} I have been trying to think of something simple to do
for a seam finish. I am in the middle of granddaughters school clothes and
the serger has been pitched out the window. owww!

After doing some Googling on Hong Kong finishing, just to see if I could
find pictures to see if what I was actually doing was a HK finish, I ran
across this article about underlining a garment and finishing the seams in
one procedure. I tried the technique this morning on a wool doll dress I
was
making and it worked slick as a whistle. I used some batiste I had in my
stash as the underlining. Perhaps many of you have been doing this for
years
and I'll be the only one (aaaaagain *sigh*) who didn't know about this.
The
finished garment *REALLY* looks nice!!
