Hello All, I have been a reader of this newsgroup for a long time and have found some wonderful hints from all of you - thank you very much. Now I have a problem that I need help with. I spent way too much money on a pair of knit (sweatshirt type) pants and I zoomed ahead and started to hem them. Well now they look like ¨SCALLOPED WIDE BELL BOTTOMS (they started with straight legs!) -even though I used my zigzag stitch. I have no idea as to why they stretched out of shape so much and I will have to make them into capris now but don't dare do anything more until I get some advice ! I have been sewing for years on my very old Singer but have never used the zigzag before and never sewn on knits either. Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I was hoping to be somewhat successful with the capris idea before they end up becoming shorts!!
Sincerely,' Linda Linda
