But I also walk that tightrope of wanting to share wonderful quilts I've seen at shows, as long as I give credit to patterns, etc. <br /><br />I used to be a seamstress for others, and I've worked with boning. As I remember, boning is bought by the yard, and it's encased in a fabric tubing. You cut it to the correct length and remove the casing. Round the ends a bit so they aren't sharp. <br />The gown directions usually say to sew the outside and lining together at the side seams and sometimes up and over the bust line, making a channel for inserting the boning.<br /> <br />Biggest mistake I made, more than once, was sewing that channel too narrow. If the channel is too tight, you shove and push and risk hurting the fabric, trying to get it inserted. However, you don't want the channel so wide that the boning could roll over inside. It needs to stay in place. I made practice channels with leftover fabric, figuring out the best width. All fabric combinations act differently. <br /><br />Good luck! The gown for Emma will be lovely!Vivianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04255216150275846123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8542748653129887132.post-68458711836704009382011-04-12T09:37:13.740-04:002011-04-12T09:37:13.740-04:00When it comes to quilt show photos the most they w...When it comes to quilt show photos the most they will ask you to do is take them down.<br /><br />It sounds like you have some fun and busy days ahead!!Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12460244411628464458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8542748653129887132.post-53817747410112167402011-04-12T03:56:13.637-04:002011-04-12T03:56:13.637-04:00I think it's so sad that we can't feel tot...I think it's so sad that we can't feel totally free to show photos from quilt shows any more. My thought is that if someone puts a quilt into a show, she expects people to look at it, so where is the difference between seeing it in person or seeing a photo? World's gone crazy I reckon.QuiltSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18121195815836334067noreply@blogger.com
