We are recording today on the traditional, ancestral, and unseeded territories of the Coast Salish and Quakwakwakwak peoples, including Slaywituth, Squamish, Musquiam, and Comox First Nations.

Hello and welcome to Love to Sew. I'm Caroline, the owner of Blackbird Fabrics and BF Patterns.

And I'm Helen, the designer behind Helen's closet patterns and Cedar Quilt Co.

We're two sewing buds who love to sew and it's basically all we ever talk about.

In this episode, we share a bunch of lesser known sewing notions.

Have you heard of a curve runner? How about draw cord elastic?

Monofilament thread? Z zipper lubricant, we talk about

all of these and lots more. If you love to sew, this is your show.

Hello. Hello.

How are you, Helen?

I'm good.

How are you?

I'm good.

I'm so excited to learn about zipper lubricant today.

I was going to try to make like a notion pun or joke.

Oh, yeah. I have a very vague notion of what we're going to talk about today.

I second that emotion.

No, that's a different.

I'm pretty sure the word notion is also in that song, but I can't remember the law.

If you've got the notion, I second that emotion.

There you go.

Oh, there we go.
