I But you,do need to follow special' I techniques when sewing crepes, says Lois Folk, Purdue university clothing specialist. - *' [ . Choose an easy to fit pattern without set-in sleeves or a collar. Use wdl sharpened shears, sharp pins and needles. Be especially careful when cutting out the garment because the fabric tends to slide. Place a piece of tissue paper under the fabric when cutting to prevent sliding. Miss Folk recommends using- textured nylon thread; however, mer- . cerized cotton is an alternative, i For machine sewing, use a fine,, sharp needle and a balanced, loose i tension to minimize puckering. You I may also need-to lengthen the stitch. ’ Since the fabric ravels, -finish I seams by binding or overcasting, i To press polyesters use aco >1 iron (275-300 degrees) on either the wash and wear or the synthetic setting. Polyesters have low moisture absorption which makes them dry quickly when, laundered. However, this also means they do not absorb perspiration and. may feel ungomfortable if they are not lineu. Lining with Siri or cotton sheath lining solves this problem and prevents the fabric from sliding during stitching. Buying a new bathtub? Select one with a flat bottom, suggests Purdue university’s extension h o u si n g specialist. Use a rubber safety mat in the tub to prevent falls.. For best results add herbs and spices during the last hour b£ cooking of dishes that simmer or ’stew, suggest food "specialists at Purdue university. Too lengthy cooking destroys 5 herb flavors. To catch drippings from baking dishes, set the dish on a piece of foil slightly Jarger than the dish, .or use a arip pan. Home ipanagement specialists at Purdue university do not advise placing a large sheet of foil "on the bdttom of the oven.
