Do you want fashionable, comfortable knit clothes?
Sewing fashion knits is hot and it's not the same as it was in the 1970s. Learn how to fit knits using any pattern, not just those designed for knits. Pati will re-cap how to buy the right size pattern and the most important alterations. See important notions and stabilizers that will make knit sewing successful. Also included: Grainline; cutting; yes, it's OK to have darts. Or, how to redesign them with ease, gathers, tucks, and double darts. Needles; seams on a regular machine and serger; differential feed; cover-stitch. Edge finishes: bands, binding, ribbing, and fold-over elastic, fused. No-side seam pull-on pants. Casings. See Pati's knit wardrobe from her McCall's patterns and other creative garment ideas.

Tuition: $28.00

The new Palmer/Pletsch book Knits for Real People will be available at Fabric Depot in March.
A review from Marcy Tilton:
Knits for Real People is sure to become a classic in every sewist’s library. The sewing community has been waiting for this definitive practical information and will embrace it...for even experienced sewists can be timid about working with knits. It is visually appealing, I love the contrast of professional models in studio shots interspersed with photos of real people, including the authors themselves. The content is superb and clearly presented. I practically devoured the entire book in one sitting and learned a few new things in the process. My response is a big, huge, unequivocal YES.
