4. Does anyone Channel Stitch?
I want to make a throw for my bed out of dupioni silk. I saw one for $225. on web, but I don't know how to Channel Stitch.

Does one use regular batting or is there a soft cord inside?

Do you start at one corner and aim toward middle?

Can you just do straight rows all the way across fabric and not worry about turning corners and working towards middle?

Thanks a million for any ideas or suggestions. :silly:

22. Google? You must mean 'bobbin'.
Should I be using a twin needle with the bobbin tension tightened just a tad?

Is that what you're getting at?

45. Well, see here...
You are both an Ohioan and a Wisconsinite. I thought I'd send you into some sort of recursive loop (something else I know nothing about).

10. Gerunds as pets
To phrase it properly the Gerund eats very little, has little smell and is easily hand trained. Apparently a great pet.

30. You obviously haven't the slightest concept of how important this
theory is to the development of humankind and the migration of pre-Columbian hunters and gatherers throughout the North Atlantic. Not to mention its impact on our perception of auto-erotic practices.:eyes:

36. Even though DerivedClass overrides MyMethod,
the MyClass keyword in UseMyClass nullifies the effects of overriding, and the compiler resolves the call to the base class version of MyMethod.
MyClass cannot not be used inside a Shared method, but you can use it inside an instance method to access a shared member of a class.

Comprende?

43. How did I miss this thread?!
I've found that of all the impressionists... Degas seemed to emulate Monet's style more than anyone else. Cezanne also was influenced by Monet, although he wasn't as obvious about it.
