The fabric has more stretch that way. I use 30# line and make sure you have enough fullness. Also, I think a roll hem foot on a regular mechine using a tight ziz zag, make a much prettier curl.

It will help you immensely, and answer some of those basic questions you might have. Happy sewing! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
