We had a great time this past weekend hosting the 2025 Slipcover Summit at the GreenLife Inn and Workroom Tech in Tryon, NC. There were four teachers and an enthusiastic group of attendees with different backgrounds and experience levels. One this episode of the podcast, Ceil DiGuglielmo interviews the attendees to find out what tips, tools and ideas they would like to share with you. This is a fun podcast!

There is one common use of sewing clips that I have seen workrooms share on social media that I wanted to try - using clips to hold pleats on draperies after they are shaped (as a french or euro pleat) before they are stitched. I admit, the colorful clips do make me smile but I wasn't sure this was a necessary step or a time saver. The only way to find out was to do a time study.
