Q. What are the lines on the back of a glove?
A. The three lines on the back of a glove are called points. They are purely ornamental and often form part of the design. Points are normally sewn by putting three 'tucks' in the fabric using a stab stitch; however, they could also be sewn by machine. Points do not have to be straight lines, i.e. they can also assume different shapes such as diagonal lines from side to side.
Q. I visited your web site and just love the hat on the home page. Do you have the pattern for sale?
A. The pattern for the hat you're referring to is not available at the moment; however, it is being tested right now and should be available
this fall. Check the web site periodically to see if it's posted.

Q. I really want to make a handbag using Pattern No. PP406 New Traditions. How do I make the
front and sides more firm so they don't cave in?
A. The pattern you're referring to looks much better as a firm handbag so you're on the right track.
Using the pattern pieces for the front, back, sides, bottom and flap, cut them
out of low loft batting (e.g. Warm and White).
Cut off the seam allowances from all pieces and cut across each corner.
Fuse the batting to the appropriate fabric pattern piece using a fabric
spray adhesive. Handle each as a single layer of fabric after that.
Instead of using a fabric spray adhesive, you may baste the layers
together. You may also use a fusible web to fuse the batting and
fabric together.
