point, you could pin the pressed and started hems but i have a feeling that if you used enough starch they are going to stay put while you sew.
pick your thread. for this project i went with a purple that matched but once it was finished i wished i had gone with the lighter purple just for a fun contrast. you live and you learn.
if you are going to use a decorative stitch, make sure you have enough thread in your bobbin.
i tested out this decorative stitch on a separate piece of fabric first. i wanted a stitch that would look good and keep my hem nice and flat.
