I like the sewing machine for steeking because it's the least bulky combined with being very secure. Ths is probably the only way I'd do a steak on a real project, even though I teach other methods in my workshop.<BR/><BR/>Hand sewing is not bulky, but it is not as secure as machine stitching. <BR/><BR/>Crochet is secure because you catch every stitch and the yarn stitcks to the yarn better than sewing thread does, but can be pretty bulky. The crochet steek is really elegant though, and it's amazing to look at the first time you cut one open.Donna Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12456352318216873030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7740883642037850974.post-27416328707868587492008-03-01T03:13:00.000-08:002008-03-01T03:13:00.000-08:00Your colors are beautiful.

I think it will be better than my sewing on a machine. I've never done it before, so your guess is as good as mine. As to your other questions, sorry I can't help you. Maybe Donna will chime in when she gets a chance.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10191706595033332028noreply@blogger.com
