Handle the fabric as little as you can during the process, and go slow when stitching. I also found it helpful to up the pressure on the foot/feed dogs and loosen the tension a smidgen. Best of luck in the challenge!

I was really surprised by this pattern, it was way prettier than I had imagined.

I love the shape of the yoke and sleeves and would never have guessed the pattern was from the 80's, Perhaps I should try to see past the unpleasant art on the pattern envelopes of that period, because it looks like there are some real gems there as well. The buttons (and the story attached to it) are wonderful too!

This pattern is particularly pretty with the detailing around the yolk and sleeves. Though the pattern is from the 80's it seems virtually timeless as a blouse like this never goes out of style!Bianca Espositohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01541302311277420740noreply@blogger.com
