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.
Mickey, If you use a blind hem attachment you loosen the tension for knits, make sure you test first and use a Ball Point or Stretch Needle for knits to get the right stitch. Becareful not to snag the fabric. The double needle stitch used many on Slinky Knit hems (as I explained above).est on scrap to get the right tension and stitch length. I had read where some use the very light fusible tape, I tried this it âwas not a great lookâ it made hem kind of wavy and stiff. If you have an Overlocker with Cover stitch, I love using that method on knit hems. Hoping others have more input.
