Hello all,
question no. 1: Wasn't it Joy Beeson who had this very good website where
all the basic stuff is explained? I thought I had it bookmarked but I can't
seem to find it. Sob! Sniff!
Question no. 2: There is a technique to keep - dang, my English vocabulary
has fled me completely, I have to describe it, so bear with me, please. (And
if you reply, I'd be more than happy to learn the proper expression for what
I'm about to describe.) If you have a blouse, sometimes the sides are not
closed all the way down; a couple of centimeters are left to give you more
room for moving/sitting. (What the heck is it called, I can't remember!). To
prevent this - slit? from tearing open, you can embroider something over the
end of the seam, a little triangle. In German, this thing is called
"Fliege" - literally translated fly. I googled for it in German but I can't
find an istruction how to do it. The worst is: I used to know how to do it,
but I forgot. Purleeze, help me, do.

G'day Ursula
I think you might be talking about a 'Crows Foot'? although on RTW
jeans etc, they just use a bar tack (similar to one side of a buttonhole).
Not sure if this helps?
Bronwyn ;-)

I've seen it called a slit. In a man's jacket, it's a vent. On
blouses, I like to put a little "arrowhead" - a satin-stitched triangle,
with the wide part at the opening, narrowing up into the seam. You will
probably get better responses tomorrow.

Either a vent or a slit. I've seen both names put on that part of a blouse.
It's an "arrowhead"tack.

site, it's also called a "sprat's head." And a crow foot is just slightly
different. :)

Wow, that's jsut what I had been looking for. And that crow foot thing is
even more intricate. Gotta try that one, too, one day. Thank you all!
