		<description><![CDATA[ Whenever you consider designing the edges of your bed room, one thing is to realize that the corner area is filled with alternatives each with regards to power as well as adornments. In many homes this extremely important area continues to be neglected; yet it's easy to correct this situation.<br /><br />Keep plants in pots: You may even have plants in pots within the living room part or even a well-chosen number of indoor vegetation. <br /><br />Decorate partitions: Put pictures or photos on both the actual walls from the corner region. It might be just one picture or perhaps a cluster associated with photos. Rather than photos you may even use decorative mirrors or works of art and even a purple velvet curtain in order to give theatrical effect.<br /><br />If you have more ideas to decor corners then feel free to share with us... <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ A friend asked me to make her some kitchen towels that are actually absorbant.  Some of the toweling may be pretty to look at but do not actually dry anything.  She thought maybe terrycloth but I have doubts that it would dry dishes.  Anybody have any suggestions as to what fabrics would be best for this purpose.  Many thanks in advance for your suggestions. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ I'm going to be doing hemstitching with a wing needle on a table cloth that has a 2 inch hem.  I'm worried about keeping the upper and lower fabric even so it doesn't come up short at the corners and thought about using this foot to help prevent it.  Can I use an even feed foot to do this?  The stitch I'm using is  fairly wide and the wing needle is a twin needle. ]]></description>

		<title>which type of thread for drapes?</title>

		<description><![CDATA[ I am going to make 9 foot long drapes, and have purchased a thin, crispy polyester for the face fabric, a 70/30 poly/cotton blend bump for the interlining (wow- is it soft & thick!) , and ended up buying a cotton lining fabric (Roc-Lon Renaissance), because all of the polyester ones were see-through and felt really cheap.  So my question is, should I sew them together with cotton thread, or polyester thread?  I read on another post here that the interlining is attached to the face fabric first, then THAT is treated as one fabric to which the lining is attached last.  So I can definitely use polyester thread for the first step, right?  And then use cotton thread to attach the lining?  (By the way, I have no intention of ever washing or dry-cleaning these in any way, as I read it does more harm than good, and that most interlined drapes are better off just being brushed clean every year or so as needed.)  Also, I saw one website were someone claimed it was bad to line drapes with 100% cotton because it will disintigrate in just a few years.  Is this true?  If so, why does every professional drapery website say they use cotton lining? ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ I bought 100% polyester fabric to make drapes, and I am wondering what kind of lining and interlining to buy.  The fabric is very thin and somewhat "crispy" so maybe one could call it faux-silk.  The drapes are not for a bedroom so I don't necessarily need blackout lining, but maybe thicker lining provides better body in the panels?  They will be flat panels, by the way, not pleated.  So here are my questions:<br /><br />Should I get some 70% polyester/ 30% cotton blend, or 100% cotton, or the thick blackout lining?  <br /><br />Also, I have never used interlining before, but keep reading online that it is good to use for thin fabrics like silk, so what kind of interlining should I get; bump or something thinner? <br /><br />Is it correct that the interlining is first attached to the face fabric, then the lining is sewn on last? Why does it matter?<br /><br />If I want the drapes to puddle, how many inches should I add to the length; not counting the hem? (The 3 windows are 90" tall & 31" wide, just to establish the scale)  I was thinking maybe 10"?<br /><br />I'm guessing one doesn't use weights in the hem if the drapes puddle?<br /><br />How will the linings affect the puddling?  Does the puddling affect which type of linings I should buy?<br /><br />Any advice would be greatly appreciated! ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ hey everyone, i would say that im fairly adept at handicrafts etc... im looking to make a couple of curtain holdbacks to save some money, problem is, what im not so good at is the whole creative part, once i have something to copy then im great...<br />looking for something with a medieval influence but not too OTT needs to not look out of place in a modern home, thats just the concept i have in my head... ive had a little look around, some examples of what ive found: <a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=Curtain+holdback&_sacat=See-All-Categories">http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R4...cat=See-All-Categories</a> and <a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.twenga.com/price-curtain-holdback.html">http://www.twenga.com/price-curtain-holdback.html</a> but again, nothing is grabbing me... has anyone seen anything recently? im open to suggestions other than medieval but certainly none of this modern minimalist stuff!! <br />in terms of materials i am either going to fashion these out of clay and paint to look like wood/metal whatever or in a basic plaster mold and paint, depending on how adventurous im feeling!! so really anything i spossible! help is appreciated, thanks guys ]]></description>

		<title>Fabric not feeding at same pace</title>

		<description><![CDATA[ I'm using my MC9000 to sew home decor items (lined drapes, demin/upholstery weight placemats, tree skirt with upholstery weight fabric, lining and interlining, etc.). When sewing, especially through multiple layers of fabric/lining, I am having trouble with the top layer(s) of fabric apparently not feeding at the same pace as the lower layers. My seams end up a mess. If I want the two pieces of fabric to start and end together, then I have to put tiny folds into the top layers. Yuck!<br /><br />I have had the same problems with my TB30, and on that machine, it also happens even with lighter weight fabrics and fewer layers. <br /><br />What am I doing wrong? Should I try the walking foot? Do I need to adjust the tension? Do I need a heavy duty or upholstery machine instead? Appreciate any tips. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ I bought a 9700 and I'm trying to learn to sew. I am going to make a pillow using drapery fabric suitable for pillows.What I need to know is what needle do I use in the machine. There's one it it when I bought it and there's a package of needles that came with it. 3 have blue tips one is silver and one is twin needles. Which one do I use or do I need to get a different needle? I'm also putting piping around the pillow. Also how do I find a basting stitch? The dealer won't help me with sewing. ]]></description>
