I'm working on leggings for the whole family (well, not my husband) and I bought some lovely knit fabrics. The first pair came out a bit weird and I now know I was using the wrong stitch and needle. Thanks again! Can,t wait to restart my leggings project!Beckitybootiquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12485045020533006780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574269791828128314.post-843276765045186092011-12-16T09:34:44.170-07:002011-12-16T09:34:44.170-07:00WoW!

Little ones for tight curves and big ones for cutting out mutliple layers.<br /><br />Your needle size sounds just fine, though there is actually quite a bit I don't know about needles. I would purchase the needles at a quality notions store and ask the staff if they have any recommendations based upon the weight of knit you are sewing if you have concerns.Charity Indietuteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13517919253368724623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574269791828128314.post-39279948356522870242010-11-01T18:52:53.372-06:002010-11-01T18:52:53.372-06:00Great tutes, love your blog and devouring all your...Great tutes, love your blog and devouring all your articles since I discovered it. Can I ask some questions please? What size rotary cutter do you use? And are 10/70 ball point needles fine enough?

Since then I've been very reluctant to try again. With your tips, I will most certainly try my hand again at this.
