Sewing with Curved Lines
Season 13
Episode 1303
Simple straight stitching is easy to practice, but we can bend those straight lines and expand our creativity by adding a curved stitch. Maria King wanted to take up sewing so she could create garments that express her own personality. In this episode, she works with Peggy to share what she has learned about concave and convex lines on the sewing machine. She is now ready to expand her creativity.
