How. ewr, If Ihe fubrle Is to too lined fr toys, thin would not be too much of a problem. If the fab ric is washable, look for direc- timis on how to make the fur return to lu original look. For the amount to buv, fo. low the yardage guide for fab rics "with nnp," or buy an ex tra thrceeluhths or three-quarters of a yard. When cutting out the fabric, eliminate all unnecessary seams, as, for example, the cen ter bnck seam. Put the pattern on the bark Inn side with tops or an pattern pieces in the same direction, and make sure the fabric pile for all pieces runs aown. tor very deep pile fabric, plan to cut through single thicknesses. Take a hint from the real fur world and cut the fabric from the wrong side with a razor blade. This makes the pile easier to control, Miss Speckhart says, and prevents cutting off the fiber "hairs." Facings at armholcs and the' necKiines will be required on a sleeveless overblouse or similar garment. These should be light weight harmonizing fabric rath er than the deep-pile fabric in order to avoid bulk. Hand-basting fabric pieces to gether first is advised for two reasons: (1) some of these fab rics tend to "creep" or "pucker" when stitched, (2) you can get proper fitting before machine stitching so no seams need to be ripped. Stitch in the direction the pile lays wherever possible, Miss Speckhart advises, then use a pin to lift the pile caught in the stitched seam on the right side of the fabric. Rein force points of strain with seam tape. To take out bulk in seam allowances, shear the pile on the wrong side. This kind of sewing calls for a loose tension on the machine, light pressure, a coarse needle, and heavy duty, thread. Stitch length should run about 10 stitches per inch. The high-pile fabrics usually are made of heat-sensitive fi bers, Miss Speckhart reminds. For this reason, try finger-pressing or place the fabric pile side down on a velvet board or heavy turkish towel. Use a press cloth and steam lightly without touching the Iron to the fabric.
