So I broke out the fabric marker and ruler and planned out my boning (since I am probably off the pattern ... I haven't even looked at the instructions since last year! LOL) I was sewing veeerrrrrryyyy slllllooooowwllllyyyy in a sincere attempt to get these channels sewn straight ... the stitches themselves might not be perfectly straight, but I stayed on the fabric marker line today! Of course, once the first line was sewn, then it was easier to slide a cable tie in and use the boxy zipper foot to snug up to it. Pic snapped this afternoon:

It's not period-correct, but that isn't what I am going for on this one. I happen to really REALLY like the support these cable ties give me.
Oh, a new one for the "Thank you, Sgt. Obvious!" file: I have discovered - by accident - that topstitching looks so much nicer when you press it afterwards ... apparently "everyone" knows this, but I honestly don't recall seeing anyone ever mention it.
