Thank you Andy. I knew Lord Matthew, having noted that he was in the SCA, was looking for info appropriate for SCA use (pre-17th century). Would you mind sharing what you know about how sergers were used for the early 20th century garments? I presume they were similar, but not the same as used today, or were they? I have this Edwardian coat I want to work on, but the directions with the pattern is rather scant on fully period techniques. I am still debating in my head how period, or how modern I want to be when working on it. Thank you, Kimiko _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
