It is the sort of frustrating incompleteness that holds you hard when you think you know something, but you really don't—and then you wonder if you knew it at all, once the connections are made and the analysis done, when the answer is more surprising and insightful than you thought you knew. A big Incompleteness set in the two days ago, thumbing through a volume Jean Le Clerc's mini-massive journal, Bibliotheque Universelle et Historique, which was printed in Amsterdam in the late 1680's and early 1690's, and in its 25 volumes or so covers only about five years in the history of ideas (covering 1688-1792).

Weekend Wonders with Fabric.com: How To Make Flat Felled Seams The right finishes make projects go more smoothly, look more professional, and give you an upper hand when it comes to impressing friends with your vast sewing knowledge! Making a flat felled (or flat fell) seam is a detail with a place in history as well as a place in the world of professional seam finishes. You can find references to the flat felled seam technique in vintage as well as hand sewing (once the only way to sew anything!). Within the flat felled seam family there’s the French seam, mock French seam, Hong Kong finish, overcast, overlock, and coverstitch. For more on other types of seam finishing, we have a great four-part series that starts with Most Popular, then goes on to cover French, Hong Kong and more. Okay... back to your favorite pair of jeans. If you’re not a jeans-wearin' kind of person, you may have noticed flat felled seams on men's clothing, such as dress shirts and even boxer shorts. You need the appropriate needle for your fabric type. . Contributors
