Sowing Welt cord

Found this for anyone like me who's going to attempt to make there own undersuit.

I wonder if she'd make mine for me.

Following on from Dales Video I'd recommend you watch again first.

Great find!

I am going to try and craft my own under suit soon, but I had better be careful - almost needed stitches from my x-acto knife! What damage could I do with an sewing machine at full speed!? :roll:

I guess i could just stitch in some stitches in cut?! Haha

My 1st suit that was slammed together, and maybe was the best one had a over night remake when the seamstress went to go do the final assembly she found out her long time helper didn't understand sewing a fabric that stretches. What should have been a sooth edged area when holding the top of a section and looking at it hanging was now like a jagged piece of glass. It zigged zagged all over from the material being sewn together with not equal pressure say 5lbs of push on all pieces. Example sewing two pieces together with 5lbs pushing pressure, then 10 lbs and the next, and just random numbers the next 4-5 pieces. The zig zag effect begins. Now picture 42 panels zig zagging.
