stitching is done with both quality and
durability in mind. construction seams are sewn with mettler metrosene
and/or gutterman thread. raw fabric edges are serged - giving a clean,
professional look that guards against fraying. garment hems are either
double-turned or bound. appliques are sewn with a tight satin stitch in an
array of colors complementing the final design. great care and time is
taken to produce a piece that will withstand years of washing and use all
sewing is done with any combination of 3 machines:
fabrics are selected on the basis of caliber
and color. every piece is constructed with new, high-quality fabrics --
never with cloth harvested from old clothing or from flatfold
cottons. recycled fabrics have often lost a degree of durability, making
them inappropriate for use in new constructions. flatfolds have a lower
thread count than bolt fabrics and are more likely to have design flaws.
quilt batting will always be 100% cotton as polyester content in
batting will tend to migrate through the quilt's fabrics after time,
creating a white 'fuzz' on the quilt surface). all fabrics are prewashed
before cutting and assembly; this prevents garment shrinkage and
color-bleeding with future washings. all faeriebuzz garments, accessories
and quilts are fully guaranteed. any and all
repairs will be made, free of charge, for the viable life of the garment.
this offer extends from error in sewing technique to the accidental fabric
tear. if something must be returned, please contact me so i know what to expect
and can give an estimated turn-around time. the buyer will be responsible
for all shipping and optional (recommended) insurance charges to and from
anchorage, alaska. i offer to fix problems not originating in my own
studio first because i feel i may know best how to correct the problem and
will have the appropriate materials to do so, but also to preserve the
quality of the piece. my intention is that my garments last a lifetime and
my quilts be of heirloom quality.
