I don't have a serger so I used a small, pretty tight zig-zag. So far so good-- is there some peril ahead that I'm not anticipating by using a zig-zag stitch????Julie D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08771582733778600909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6352695166084770587.post-85327985085592861432016-04-28T23:30:51.227+10:002016-04-28T23:30:51.227+10:00Thanks, I'll try that.Thanks, I'll try that.

Can I subsitute 6.35 mm (think this is as close as we get to 6 mm wide as listed on the pattern) double fold bias tape?
