Aaargh! I want to stabilize the shoulder seams of the
French terry, but I don't like taped seams in knits. I am
sure I have some clear elastic somewhere in my supplies, but
I can't lay my hands on it. Just returned from TSWLTH and
the clerk had "never heard of clear elastic". After
searching the regular elastics area, I turned 180° in the
notions aisle and found it on a wall with other supplies. I
opened the package to show the clerk what it was. She was

just astounded. <sigh>
Beverly, all set now to finish the robe tomorrow.

Oh, these clerks that don't know what merchandise the store carries, or
where it's located in the store.
BTW, Beverly, I ordered 5-yards of the lavender plisse you showed me; DS saw
it and proceeded to order 6-yards of the darker lavender, 11-yards of
2-shades of the same fabric. A crib sheet and nightgowns for the 2 girls
and their Mom? Her birthday is April, just about the right time for
springtime nightgowns, with lots of lace, as you said.
Thanks again for pointing it out to me.

How exciting, I'm so glad it worked out for you.
Serendipitous, how sometimes a search for one person leads
to a perfect fabric for someone else on a different
newsgroup.

Dear Beverly,
I don't like taped seams either. But you can run off a long chain on
your serger, and serge that into the seam to stabilize it. Use
several strands if you want.

Teri, That's a great idea. The serger is always set up, the elastic is
always hiding under something.
