sooz wrote a blog entry on stretch fabrics: sewing with knits. I found that very informative for my goals. I wrote her a comment, and asked about sewing hosiery. She responded. I'll post the short discussion in the remainder of the blog entry for back up. If you have an interest in sewing, then I recommend that you check out her blog entry. For more ideas, click used

Eugene T.S. Wong said... Wow. Thanks for the great blog entry. Do you know how to pantyhose material? I ask because I tried, and it the seam didn't stretch as much as the seams made by the manufacturer. I tried the zigzag stitch and the closest thing to a seam stitch [probably seam 14 in your photo]. For example, imagine buying 2 pairs [1 pair white and 1 pair black], then cutting them in half, and then sewing them back together so that each new pair is white and black combined. How would you do it? -- Sincerely, and with thanks, Eugene T.S. Wong 6:00 PM

Eugene T.S. Wong said... :^) That's not good news, but it's good that you saved me time and money. :^D The thing that I love about your blog, is that you actually answer readers. Some bloggers want feedback and readership, but they never respond to the readers. Thank you very much for everything! :^) 4:33 AM
