When I blocked my Picovoli, in fact, right after I wetted it and put it out on a towel (please don't cringe when you read this), I set my iron to super high and pressed the sh*t out of the picot edge. Wet fabric + hot iron + physical pressure = very flat fabric. Do I recommend this? Well... only if you're totally fearless :). If you're more hesitant, follow the wet pillowcase instructions :).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18928997.post-1138075772953108462006-01-23T20:09:00.000-08:002006-01-23T20:09:00.000-08:00An update.

It is definitely better than it was, but is still trying to curl up somewhat. Maybe when I'm actually wearing it, it'll lay flatter... so I'm now working on the arms and the neck and will try to post a completed pic tomorrow.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18928997.post-1138070886179696172006-01-23T18:48:00.000-08:002006-01-23T18:48:00.000-08:00I've been making sure it's not too tight because I...I've been making sure it's not too tight because I remember reading that in your directions. Do you think I need to go up a row or two or just keep going and pray for the best with the iron?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18928997.post-1138070452204202222006-01-23T18:40:00.000-08:002006-01-23T18:40:00.000-08:00This happens a little bit on all picot trims - soc...This happens a little bit on all picot trims - socks, shirts, hats, whatever. Remember my post about the number one knitter's best friend - the iron? Applicable here, too :) :) :).<BR/><BR/>In general, though, you want to make sure to be pretty loose with your sewing. Tug the shirt side to side before you secure the sewing thread's end. Otherwise, it may find its way out as you pull the shirt over over shoulders and bust.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
