Then they'll still stretch, the seam will be secure and you're not asking the stitches to stretch. Hope that makes sense! thanks sallykate that makes sense I haven't got around to trying it yet...

PaulaMc 22 Jun 6:36am, 22 Jun 2024 12,828 posts	0 PaulaMc Do any of you have adjustable tailors dummies? I’ve still not done much with my new sewing machine 🙄 but am thinking that if I want to make clothes for myself it might be a useful purchase. I’d be looking to get a second hand one on eBay. Are they worthwhile having?
