As a genre, spy fiction is thematically related to the novel of adventure (The Prisoner of Zenda, 1894, The Scarlet Pimpernel, 1905), the thriller (such as the works of Edgar Wallace) and the politicoâmilitary thriller (The Schirmer Inheritance, 1953, The Quiet American, 1955).
Hems can be adjusted by hand stitching, by sewing with a machine, or by using hemming tape that is melted with a warm iron to glue the material together. This page explains how to hem using a sewing machine that can do blind stitching. Many sewing machines costing less than $100 Dollars have this capability. In addition to the sewing machine, you will need scissors, a seam ripper, thread matching the color of the material, a tape measure, an iron, and an ironing board.
If youâve got zigzag stitch on your regular sewing machine, you can use that instead. In fact, the instructions in the Coco sewing pattern and Agnes sewing pattern assume you are using a regular machine (but if you are lucky enough to have an overlocker or serger, go ahead and use it if you prefer!).se a ballpoint or stretch needle in your sewing machine. Personally I find ballpoint needles work well for me-they have a slightly rounded tip which passes through the looped structure of the material without laddering it.
