Be a bit on the cold side.

Lox = smoked / cured salmon

You found a floor in your garage to sweep? I wonder if there is one in mine?

A question, if I may for the sewers seamstresses on here.

One of my future projects involves using finer lighter fabric than I normally use.

So, a "narrow hem" foot for my sewing machine will stitch a narrow hem, so far so easy peasy. What is the difference between a narrow hem and a "rolled" hem?

Is a rolled hem, like turning the fabric twice, so that the cut edge is completely inside the hem? Or should I purchase both types of sewing machine foot, and see what works?

Before I tidied it was difficult to see if there was a floor.

Now there is a wide pathway between the bicycles (3), and planks of wood, small planks of wood, and medium planks of wood. The lawn mower, jet washer, and cordless strimmer on the other side. There is also various other paraffin anaila which is under the nomenclature of may be useful one day and/or waiting to be repaired.

When I moved here, the new occupants of my old home, were going to completely redo the kitchen, so I have lots of kitchen cabinets on walls in the garage.

Not necessarily this dress, but a similar fabric, is that a rolled or narrow hem?

Thank you, @classic33.. That refers to using a serger. Sadly I have not got one of those, just a normal sewing machine.

Rolled hems are normally done with a foot that rolls the material over as it's taken up by the machine.

Spiral cone on the foot to do this rolling as it's being stitched. Possible to do it without this foot, but awkward/fiddly. Not sure if you'd get consistent results without it.

It says heavy materials, but I've used my machine repairing an Icelandic tent.

Heavy and sweet, not my thing
