It drives me nuts. <br />I love the picture of your button hole attachment. It must be fabulous because it has certainly been well used! Nothing like a great tool that has been loved.<br />I can see why you are trying a quilting cotton for the dress. The one you found has a very appealing print and will work great with the dress. Also, it's tough to find nicer cottons with just the right print. The quilting world is well catered for compared to garment sewing. I have this pattern myself and cannot find the right fabric to give it a try.Karinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06551387452771116176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-65978035522876985372013-04-14T22:14:29.087-04:002013-04-14T22:14:29.087-04:00For sure.

It will make you so proud that you sew and know what quality is. The people shoving cheap clothing down our throats haven't got a clue.
