I didn't include that many details on sizing it down because I figured there's enough tutorials out there already, but maybe next time I'll take some pictures along the way and post about it. It's not that difficult... it just takes time.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16870147262612379143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2060049682474615891.post-9409631787598990332013-11-10T13:47:38.523-08:002013-11-10T13:47:38.523-08:00Thanks!Thanks!Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16870147262612379143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2060049682474615891.post-17290158541985651982013-11-09T09:19:27.333-08:002013-11-09T09:19:27.333-08:00oh wow!

Maybe it wasn't the one that came with the machine, so it doesn't quite adjust to fit the stiching? I don't know. I find blind hems pretty easy without it though, so I haven't discarded the technique completely. I'll just save it for fabric where it won't show. And I kind of like hand sewing anyways, so I'm not too fussed about it!Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16870147262612379143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2060049682474615891.post-11848439086357183332013-11-04T16:13:09.523-08:002013-11-04T16:13:09.523-08:00Thank you!

It also looks like they moved the buttons over to fit her so they aren't quite centered, which would really bug me. I saw all the other (properly fitted) versions on the internet, though, and changed my mind!Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16870147262612379143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2060049682474615891.post-74168930284338431152013-11-04T16:08:04.139-08:002013-11-04T16:08:04.139-08:00Thank you!

I just hope it doesn't bleed when I was it - I've had some trouble with red sharpie bleeding before (for whatever reason colder colours seem to be fine). Shouldn't be a problem though since I'll be washing this individually.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16870147262612379143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2060049682474615891.post-88795601405340670922013-11-04T16:01:23.394-08:002013-11-04T16:01:23.394-08:00Thank you!
