Embroidery Floss Tailor tacks -Penwalk sewalong
The pattern instructions call for the pin method of transferring markings, but I resorted to the tailor tack method taught me by my mother. The chalk will rub off before I am ready to sew but just wanted to illustrate how I would mark the pleats. When I am ready to use this piece, I will unpin the pattern piece and gently pull it away from the fabric. Then I will carefully pull open the fabric and clip the tailor tacks between the layers so that there is a tailor tack on both sides of the folded piece.
