It was fine. I wasted a LOT of thread that day!! It's a wonder I didn't ruin my blouse w/all that seam ripping!Jackihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17901749358228265651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2927969734606859312.post-20016082210329680982010-06-21T13:57:18.563-05:002010-06-21T13:57:18.563-05:00I actually did not stream any of them, but since y...I actually did not stream any of them, but since you mentioned it, I think I will and measure again. :Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06773848714457136153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2927969734606859312.post-1352820039331576772010-06-21T13:50:10.357-05:002010-06-21T13:50:10.357-05:00neat experiment!! I saw a discussion about machine...neat experiment!! I saw a discussion about machine winding the elastic thread, either on pattern review or sewing mamas, about whether winding it FAST or SLOOOWWWW, had any effect on the performance of the elastic.<br /><br />Were those lengths of fabric after you'd steamed them with the iron, or before?Jackihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17901749358228265651noreply@blogger.com
