Though I did notice that I got a lot of accidental puckers when setting my sleeves. Maybe the fabric was stretching a bit on the feed dogs and then fold over an getting stitched. It snapped back into shape when I unpicked the area so it was more of an annoyance than fabric crisis. The cake is my yummy chocolate stand by as long as I don't want to make too many layers. It's delicious but delicate. Brought it to my nieces B-day party and it was almost gone by the end. :)Heather Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16301752361056276451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170578327853219575.post-69548412324487755112013-07-03T13:41:03.987-04:002013-07-03T13:41:03.987-04:00Thanks Amanda, :) It's like Simplicity was try...Thanks Amanda, :) It's like Simplicity was trying to make unattractive dresses.
