I have been making the skirt and I came to the part that you ghtear the stitches. Now I am a fairly new sewer, so excuse my silly question, but is ghtearing stitch the same as a basting stitch and why do you do 2 rows? I always seem to break the thread when I am ghtearing material, any suggestions.I love this skirt and other wise feel it has been very easy to follow your tutorial. Thanks for adding directions on how to adjust for different sizes. Once I get this one done I am going to make one for my 4 yo and my 2 yo daughters. Started with my oldest 7yo old daughter first.
