Many, many thanks to everyone who gave advice about working with organza. I
tried the painter's tape method. My son is a painter and all we had in the
house was expensive blue tape...it is supposed to stick better. It worked
too well. It had leftover bits of tape in the seam that I had to pull out
with tweezers. Maybe the cheap-o tape would work better.
Next I used the tissue paper that you put in gift bags. This worked like a
charm. At Joann's I bought tissue paper the same color as the dress. So if
I left paper in the seam, it didn't show. I only had this happen once when
I did a seam finish.
The dress was beautiful! Thanks again!
