Demos
Congratulations to all who put together this programme aat the last minute, they did a brilliant job.
Frances showed us how to make a raglan sleeve seam much more interesting using an adjustable 7 prong transfer tool. The first had a row of eyelet holes several stitches in from the edge, the second had a delicate patterning by transferring 7 then 6 then 5 down to 2 stitches every 2-4 rows. This is then repeated until the raglan decreasing shaping is done.
Margaret found an interesting technique on Youtube, first making a strangely shaped fabric with large holes, then threading the fabric to make a braid like appearance. She assured us it was straight forward once you got into the rhythm.
