I can never get it evenly distributed & it ends up looking terrible when it's not on your body.<br />I might give it another try….<br />Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13662758844179376248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-88001083355758616.post-79885898329594195472013-04-18T07:51:20.345+02:002013-04-18T07:51:20.345+02:00Hi Rose,

Or, if you're very patient, you could sew a straight stitch, stopping and turning back and forth to get a zig-zag stitch. Sorry I don't have better advice, I've never had to try that before. maybe with some experimentation, trial and error you might be able to work out a system... I'll ask my Facebook followers and see if they have any advice for you...<br />(http://www.facebook.com/pages/A-Few-Threads-Loose/188497321185326)<br />Best of luck!Anna Depewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07055563789966415506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-88001083355758616.post-19503678949507139052013-04-18T01:41:36.042+02:002013-04-18T01:41:36.042+02:00First of all - may I say- I am new to sewing and t...First of all - may I say- I am new to sewing and this may be an uninformed quetion-I have a 1930"s?
