Managed to muff the collar last night while working on Oldest Son's dress shirt. Somehow, I simply forgot to topstitch the collar portion before sandwiching it between the collar stand pieces and stitching the whole thing together. And clipping the seam allowances. And turning and pressing. *sigh* Not sure whether I'm going to try and fix this one or just cut a new one.
Good news is, after two months, I finally got my Rowenta Pressure Steamer/Iron in the mail to the service center. Of course, they tell me it can take up to 6 weeks for repair, so I won't be expecting it back anytime soon.
And frankly, I made just demote this one to backup status, since I'm seriously thinking about getting a Reliable brand pressure steamer as soon as I can save up $400 for the purchase.
Those of you who use pressure steamers -- what brand do you have (or had) and what do you think of it?
Dressmaking projects plus tips, techniques, and tutorials. And occasional other random stuff, just to mix it up a bit.
I want a gravity feed iron, but I'll have to wait until I have a bigger sewing space. Right now, one just won't fit :o(
