| Cynthia P Years ago I went to a seminar on cut and sew. we had to mek up yards of fabric. with help from the instructor i wound up with a 2 piece suit. skirt and sweater. it was so much fun |

| Marie-Jo C Ok thank you, Sue, I'm no longer intimidated and I'll give a try !! |
| Nancy M making the band deeper would help with the bulky yarn |
| Nancy M I'm considering using cut & sew for pet sweaters. |
| Marie-Jo C With a bulky machine, aren't the two pieces of the collar too thick ? |
| Cindy Minota On a 'real' project, to seam on your serger do you use a special thread? I am a seamstress first and this is intriguing to me to cut and sew! |
| Kelly C can you miter? |
| Barbara P Shouldn't we join 1 shoulder seam first, then hang that combination on the needles. Otherwise how to you finish the shoulder seam. |
| Phyl in Raleigh, NC You could also use a strip of fabric to make a binding similar to quilt binding. |
| Nancy M you haven't seen my stash |
| Nancy M practicing cut & sew would be a great way to use up ugly yarn.. |
| A round neck seems doable... what do you do for a V or square neck? |
| Phyl in Raleigh, NC Probably could mark the center of the garment and hang that at zero. Then make sure each side has the same amount of stitches hung. |
| Barbara P If you are using DAK to create your garment, DAK will calculate the number of sts you need for your band. |
| Carol D you just poked the stitches over the hooks? Correct? |
| Nancy M I would recommend blocking first just do the stitches are set |
| Wilma T I love your video on the DAK neck line template. Never knew how to do that. Thanks!! |
| Barbara P Use a favorite garment to trace to make your template shape. |

| Dawn W Does the fabric have to be blocked first? |
| Nancy M she was the girl in one of the Indiana Jones movies) |

| I agree with Marie-Jo - pretty intimidating |
