Thank you! Im hoping my foot will come today. I have a TON of extra fabric to practice with before I use what I want to make my skirt with. My ODDs LLD skirt has 2 underruffles and two top layers. Her previous CF had 2 under and 2 top so I'ma start with that. Im so excited! Because of my first frustration, Ive been trying to BUY skirts. lol. But, now, I may finally be able to do them myself. One more question, though. Using MPKs pattern, how many Cs make 1 layer? Today, Im going to boil the fishing line for tighter curls. I wrapped it around a small paintbrush extension pole. lol -- "Sew help me...!"

In reply to: click in for more... 's message, "Yes, you got the "C" correct!! Use more underruffles to get a much fuller skirt, the my pageant kid patterns are a bit out of date, you use more underruffles than "C"s for the really full skirts that are used now." on 07:03:48 08/03/10 Tue

If you cut the fabric on a bias, it will curl tight with tension on the fabric. I have tried the roll and boil when I first started and found that process broke down the fishline and didn't give a consistant curl. (NT) -- Everyone has there own way of doing it, so I suggest practicing and see what works best for you., 05:19:46 08/04/10 Wed
