Back to it now. I went ahead and did the Diagnose stuff that the dell support person (bitch) told me they wanted done before they considered taking it in, and while that was running I took up my underdress. Made one seam in what I thought was a flat-felled seam. But when I had pressed it down I realized that it wasn't at all. I have to stitch down on both sides of the seam to make it stay there. Meaning I did the fold in the wrong place, but I had pressed it and started sewing the seam in a backstitch. I went ahead with a simple running stitch then and will fill in the other side with the same. The next seam I will make a proper flat-felled out of. I looked up the diagrams online to make sure I had it down.
I'm only doing the (not gussets, but the triangle wedge shapes you put in to add width to the skirt, can't remember the name now). But I think it'll be nice enough. A good practice for me.
