friends don't let friends make corduroy kilts...

I don't know how you are doing those welt pockets. I have a devil of time with regular cotton much less thick cord. My machine tells me "No thank you" when I go over 10 layers of twill. I contiune to wish you luck.

the machine will sew anything I can get between the table and the presser foot. the back pockets were pretty much the limit of what it can do. I had to disengage the feed dogs to be able to shove the thing into place. And I've worn out a couple of needles.

I think this waistband is going to kill me. I've figured out how to do it, i think, but it's an incredible amount of fiddling. I'll get it done tomorrow (work permitting), and post some pictures. Then I've got to hem it. Bah. I need another beer.
