I hadn't tried Seams Great, as I usually line my outer garments, but
thought I might try it on a couple of woven blouses I have cut out.
Went to Hancock's Fabrics, and couldn't find it. Yesterday, I was in
the area of JoAnn's, so popped in there, couldn't find it there either.
When I asked about it, the staff looked for where it used to be, then
came to the conclusion that with the new rearrangement of the notions
wall (as ordered by HQ) they must no longer be carrying it.
Oh well, I paid for the other odds and ends I had picked up, and loudly
said "Just another item I will have to order online, I suppose".

I haven't looked in the stores recently for Seams Great, as I ordered a
supply from either Nancy's Notions or Clotilde last year. But I do
understand
your frustration. did you check Wal-Mart? I know there are a few open on
the
West Bank in Greta, at least. I think Seams Great is made by Dritz and the
last
time I was in W-M, they had some Dritz items. All their stores, like
Jo-Ann's
and other chains, do not carry the same merchandise. I can not buy wooly
nylon
at the Jo-Ann's nearest my home, but drive 15 miles and it is abundant
there.
On the same subject, in October, I was in Plano, outside Dallas, and went
to a Jo-Ann's to get a yard of of Trim-Tex to line a handbag. The clerks
looked at me as though I was just off a planet ship from Mars or somewhere.
They were very explicit when telling me, there was no such item made. I
even
talked to the 'manager on duty'. Neither did I find any at the local
stores, either.
either Jo-Ann's or Hancock's. Like you said, I found it online and now,
DGD
has a pretty bag of bright red glitter knit with a 20s Flapper hair band to
match.
The directions were in a book I have. Another reader of this group sent the
fabric,
which was perfect and DGD loves them. The only drawback is she has several
little friends, who want bags & bands like hers; and DGD has apparently,
told them
she knew her Gramma would make a set for each of them. She is only 8-YO
and has not been around any sewing since she was 2-YO, therefore has no
ideas of the time, fabric, etc. involved in these projects. But being me, I
will
finish them by the time they are out of school for spring break, though not
all will be
red glitter knit, maybe pink or blue.

Dear Olwyn Mary,
I have an unopened package of 1 1/4" Seams Great in natural I'd be glad
to send to you if you want it. All I ask in return is that when you find
some you send one back to me. You can email me at old codgers at att dot
net. (No spaces in the address.)

Thank you so much, but, it was really just a passing fancy. I had never
tried it and wondered how it worked. I remember the first time I ever
looked at a package it said that I could not use a hot wash or a hot
iron, and that didn't seem to suit my style. I was just going to play
with it. Obviously, I am supposed to get on with some real work rather
than playing. I posted mainly as a "heads-up" to those who do use it.
Thanks again, Emily and Juno.

Your very welcome. If you change your mind and decided you want to
play,let me know. I have another roll that's almost full so It's going
to be available for sometime to come.
