Here's what did work: I cut off about 3" from each pant leg, then turned under the raw edge about 3/8" and hand basted
Then, I turned each pant leg up 3/4" and pinned it to death with ball points
Then I used a walking foot with the #8 stitch on my Bernina 440 QE. The hand basting was removed and bingo --we are done!
My point is this: I've been working with quilting fabrics and quilting techniques 24/7 lately. I was amazed how different it was working with these stretchy knits. I think in 2010 I'm going to mix it up a bit. I love making quilts of my own, and I especiallly love quilting for my many wonderful customers. But I kind of enjoyed doing something different, too. Thanks Lori, and if you need another pair altered, I can do it in 1/10 the time! I'll bring them to class tomorrow morning.
