The bow can include flowers, and can be tied separately from the waist sash, or as part of it. For a wedding dress, the bustle sash can be gathered up as part of the train, or in a separate bustle, tied or pinned on top.

What is the sewing machine that can stitch trim and overcast all in one step?

The machine that can stitch, trim, and overcast all in one step is called a "serger" or "overlock machine".

There are many different brands of sergers. There are several differences that set them apart from a standard sewing machine.

The most notable difference is the number of threads. A serger has 3 or 4 spools of thread across the back, whereas a standard sewing machine has 1. A serger also has no bobbin.

The multiple threads each have their own track through the machine, and they each have their own set of tension disks. The tension disks control the tension of each thread as it runs through the machine. Each tension disk will look like a knob on the front of the machine, resulting in 3 or 4 knobs across the face of the serger.

Multiple threads also require multiple needles. Each thread has a purpose in creating the finished serged seam.

At the base of the machine are also a set of blades. The bottom blade is stationary, and set into the machine. The top blade moves as the sewing machine feeds the fabric, trimming the fabric immediately before it is stitched.

Sergers are often used in garment sewing because a serged seam covers and protects the raw edges of the fabric. This makes the finished garment more durable through multiple washings. Sergers are also preferred when working with knit fabrics, such as t-shirts. The multiple threads in the serged seam make it more flexible and less prone to thread breakage than a seam made with a standard sewing machine. Modern sewing machines often come with the option of a "stretch stitch" which holds up to the stretch of knit fabrics well, but does not create the finished look of a serger.

Which material is best to make a gift bag?

The "best" material depends on what you're going to put in the bag. For jewelry, many times organza is used for a sheer, elegant presentation where strength is not required. For a bottle of wine, any medium weight fabric like a woven cotton/polyester blend print would be fine. For a multi-purpose gift bag, you could use canvas or old blue jeans to make a larger gift bag which can also be used as a shopping bag afterwards.

Can you reduce a cross stitch pattern to fit a certain area?

Cross stitch patterns are usually grids that show the placement and color of the stitch. If you make 5 stitches per nch, your work will be very large. If you use the same pattern, on 10 stitches per inch, it will be smaller. The more stitches per inch you use, the smaller your picture will be. most cross stitch is done on "aida cloth" - fabric with the little squares easy to see and use - it is rated according to how many little squares fit in one inch. (eg: 14 count aida cloth has 14 little squares in one inch, 10 count has ten squares per inch, etc) the count of the cloth you use will effect the size of the finished cross stitch. the SMALLER you want the finished picture, the LARGER the count needs to be.
