Sat, May 10, 2008 - 9:53 PMCan you tell me how you did the lettuce edging? I have a pair of altered yoga pants & I want to do lettuce egding on the bottoms, but I'm not sure how. Do you need a serger to do it or is it possible to do with a regular sewing machine? -

Sun, May 11, 2008 - 1:07 AMLettuce edging is often done with a merrow stitch on slightly stretched fabric, with high thread tension on one side to force the curl.
