We are recording today on the traditional ancestral and unceded territories of the Coast Salish and Kwakwakiwak peoples,

including sleighwetooth, squamish, muskwium, and komok's First Nations.

Hello and welcome to Love to Show! I'm Caroline, the owner of Blackbird Fabrics,

and I'm Helen, the designer behind Helen's closet patterns.

We're two sewing butts who've left to sew our own clothes and want to encourage you on your sewing journey too!

Join us for today's topic, Sewing Horror Story!

Hi, Helen! Hi, Caroline! I mean... Hi, Helen. Hello, Caroline.

How are you on this spooky day? I'm doing well things. I love Spooktober, big fan.

Oh, me too, me too. I like all the things that go along with it, like pumpkins.

Love a pumpkin. Love carving a pumpkin. Love eating a pumpkin. Love eating a pumpkin, yeah.

Yeah, love pumpkin flavored things. Love a skeleton. Not a huge horror movie fan, but I do like a cheesy horror movie,

you know, something that's not too intense. That can last much. Yeah, yeah.

But we have some horror stories today. We do! We reach out to y'all for horror stories you definitely delivered.

But before we get started, we wanted to do a follow-up on something that we posted about on Instagram this summer.

We shared about bias tape and asked you if you love it or hate it.

And it turns out a lot of our listeners have mixed feelings and also very strong feelings.

Yeah, postcard. I think over a hundred comments. Yeah. It was quite the debate.

But here's one of the comments, hate making bias tape and also struggle with keeping necklines flat.

I feel like I have tried everything. So we want to be here for you and help you.

And we have some tips to make necklines finished with bias tape lay flat.

Yes, a very common issue I might add. So you are not alone.

Make sure to stay stitch your neckline before you do anything else.
