1. I am sorry about it – yes, it is changed and for a reason. I will think of a better solution and present it better.

2. I prefer the former look of the glossary of posts on sewguide section. This new look is so scattered and disorganised.

   Found your site by researching waterproof fabrics. I am making a CLOTH shower curtain liner and wanted to know which product is best. I was hoping for nothing with plastic, POCs, PVCs, or coated with toxic sprays. Any suggestions?

20. I am looking for the best way to handle recycled rayon pieces (think Hawaiian shirts) into a dress. I have never worked with rayon. Would using starch be a good way to stabilize while cutting & sewing? Should the seams be finished in some way, such as serging? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you! pjstitches!

38. Hi,
    I make my own clothes, bags etc – some of them for somewhat unique functions; I am in a wheelchair, and regularly have to build new bags that are suspended under the chair, but – as stated, i do my own clothes etc as well.
    Recently, i am having a lot of trouble getting suppliers to supply the materials i need.
    Is there any chance that you can direct me to some standard specifications and terminology for a variety of materials – including very strong, tough, water proof materials that are durable.
    I am hoping that if i can get hold of the standard specifications as used by the suppliers, i will have a better chance to actually receive the resources i need, rather than having to repeatedly return most of what they send me. If i can speak their “language” weaves, strengths, thickness etc.
    do you know where i can find such information, preferably in pdf format, but anything that helps wold be good.

    Many thanks,
    Zed.

39. Hi Judy
    Textile artists do this all the time – it will not damage your machine as far as I know, unless you sew over super thick paint and you tax your machine too much. You need soft fabric paint done without it being too thick on the surface. If the the paint is too thick the machine may refuse to move and you may also get holes. Don’t use puff paints or dimensional paints. But otherwise it should be fine. Ensure that painted surface has dried fully for one week or even more. Use a cut away stabilizer on the back and embroider. Hope this is what you were looking for. Here is the page on painting on fabric.

40. I painted on fabric and would like to embroider words using my embroidery machine. The Viking people were no help knowing is it possible to do without damaging the machine and what process should I use. Can you help?

    Thanks

41. Hi Shallu
