"Magic Moments"

by Becky Summers

Making a French Sewn dress by hand takes several months.  Machine French Sewing is done with a zig zag stitch and takes only a few days.

There are several methods for Machine French Sewing, but the one described in this book is easy and makes sewing fun and creative.  Lingerie thread is used to keep stitch visibility at a minimum.

This technique can be used for finishing smocked garments as well as with regular sewing.  It is an easy method to learn and anyone who has access to a sewing machine with a zig-zag stitch can follow a simple commercial pattern to do it.
