		<description><![CDATA[How do I shorten sleeves on a T-shirt?
T-shirts are made from knit fabric and thus no edge finishing is required. Simply determine the desired sleeve length, allow at least 1&#8243; for the new hem, and cut off the excess sleeve length. It&#8217;s best to measure evenly from the existing hemline on a single layer of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sewing dilemmas usually have simple answers.
How do I finish fleece edges, both on clothing and on a double-layer blanket?
Fleece is one of the easiest fabrics to work with, as it doesn&#8217;t ravel. On garments, you can finish the edges by simply turning them under once and stitching, either with one or two needles. Another option [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How do I use elastic thread?
Elastic thread can be used in the bobbin of most machines, either with a zigzag stitch or straight stitch. It&#8217;s perfect for yokes, cuffs, necklines and other places where you need shirring with flexibility.
Hand-wind the thread onto the bobbin to avoid stretching it. Pair it with an all-purpose thread in the top of [...]]]></description>

When I worked for a sewing machine company, I used to stitch through wood yardsticks to attract attention at the state fair.

		<description><![CDATA[How do I sew swimwear fabric?
Swim fabrics are made with Lycra&#8211;a VERY stretchable knit that allows for form fitting styles, and that holds its shape when wet, so you don&#8217;t end up with a sagging swimsuit in the water. The best way to sew this fabulous fabric is with a serger, if you have one. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sheers are great for summerwear, but they can also challenge even the most even tempered and experienced sewers. They move around a lot during cutting and sewing, they ravel and it&#8217;s difficult to get even seamlines and hems. Here are some helpful hints for taming these challenging fabrics:
