I love the name and thought you might too. It is so called because it resemble the curly edge of some types of lettuce. :)whitesilkpursehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06702181197302373996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7891806199544342254.post-71708984762849501182012-11-27T17:15:58.719-05:002012-11-27T17:15:58.719-05:00So cute!

I've used it on wovens (crossways grain works best) too., although not as ruffle as knits.<br /> For boys, use a double needle and a hem 1/2" and sew without stretching.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7891806199544342254.post-36915541265073054922012-11-25T08:31:11.140-05:002012-11-25T08:31:11.140-05:00Can't wait to to Target to get some for my Gra...Can't wait to to Target to get some for my Granddaughter to this.

When you wash the item the water soluble stuff disappears. You might also try using a strip of cotton or flat ribbon on the inside.
