Terry, it sounds as though you could do an overcast stitch to fix that seam.

I have a sweater that has split, at the seam.  The seam is so shallow that you can hardly feel it.

How can I fix it?

I love the sweater!

My ragidy one for the house!

Great, how do I sew stretchy material together. It looks to me like the sceme just let go and the thread is still attached, but not to both sides of this hole. Is there some special type of thread or sewing technique I need to sew this sceme closed?



Thank you for the help

Cindy has slots available in the September chat schedule for a class or 2 on hand sewing.

I can teach how to thread a needle, sew a seam or hem, how to sew on a patch or apliqué, and, if people want, how to sew on a button.  I taught buttons before, but it was a couple years ago.

Is there interest in any of these things?  If so, which ones?

Tracy
