Problem: Article: You can fold over the edges of the blanket to create a hemmed edge on your blanket, or you can leave the edge unfolded and sew along the raw edge of the blanket. It is up to you. If you decide to fold the blanket over, fold 0.5 inches (1.3cm) of material over on each of the 4 sides of the blanket and insert pins into the folded fabric to hold it in place. Fleece does not fray easily, so having a folded hem is not really necessary unless you like the look of a folded hem. You can use a zigzag stitch to secure a folded hem or you can sew over the raw edges of a fleece blanket to create a finished look. Consult your sewing machine's manual to find out how to set your sewing machine to the zigzag stitch setting. There should be a dial or digital control where you can select the stitch type. Adjust the zigzag stitch settings to a long and wide setting by turning the width and length to the highest settings. Raise your sewing machine's presser foot, and then place the fleece fabric under it. Lower the presser foot and then begin sewing the zigzag stitch along the raw edges of your fabric. Go slow and hold the fabric taut as you sew. If you have folded the fabric over, then position the needle about 0.25 inches (0.64cm) from the folded edge. This will ensure that the needle will go right up to or just over the raw edge of the folded fabric. If you have left the fabric unfolded, then sew about 0.25 inches (0.64cm) from the raw edges of the fabric. If you are having trouble keeping the fabric moving evenly under your presser foot, you can place a piece of tissue paper or wax paper under the fabric and over the feed dogs. This will help to prevent it from getting caught on the feed dogs and you can tear away the paper after you finish sewing. To secure the last few stitches, press down on the reverse direction lever on the side of your sewing machine while continuing to keep light pressure on the pedal. Sew backwards about 1 inch (2.5cm) and then release the lever to sew forward again. Sew off the last edge of the blanket and stop the machine. Cut the excess thread near the blanket and you are finished!
Summary: Fold over and pin the edges of the blanket if desired. Set your sewing machine to the zigzag stitch setting. Sew along the edges of the blanket. Backstitch when you reach the end.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You will need to paint in sections, allowing different areas time to dry. Drying typically takes 24 hours. For this reason, only mix colors that are needed in a specific area, to avoid having wasted, unused paint on your palette. The first colors to pour are those for line work and small detail. The last colors you will want to do are the background of the image, like the sky. You should buy oil paint; 37 ml tubes should be sufficient, unless your glass is very large. If you do not have the exact paint shades that you would like for your painting, begin by mixing paints to get your desired colors. Squeeze the amount needed (small for a small area, more for a large area) of a light color onto palette paper, wax paper, aluminum foil, or a mixing palette. Add a small dab of the darker primary color to the light color. Mix well with a palette knife or brush. Keep adding small amounts of dark or light until you get the desired shade. Once you have the desired color/shade, add gilding size to your paint to help it adhere to the glass. Because glass is non-porous, it does not take paint well. You must use gilding size to help the paint adhere to and dry quicker on the glass. Pour a small amount of size directly onto your already-mixed paint and begin blending it in. Add size as needed to larger paint piles. The desired ratio is 1/2 paint to 1/2 size. Blend thoroughly with a palette knife or paint brush. Separating the paints will help you avoid accidental color mixing.

SUMMARY: Decide which parts of the painting you will do that day. Get your desired paint colors ready. Blend quick dry gilding size with the paint. Pour the paint from your palette/mixing station into a small cap or cup.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: As social anxiety is considered to be a spectrum, you should take some time to think about just how big an impact your social anxiety is having on your life. If you are just a little nervous about public speaking, but manage to get through it okay in the end, you probably don't need any professional assistance, just some practice and confidence. If, however, you feel that your social anxiety is actually preventing you from doing things that you want to, or need to do, then you should consider speaking to a therapist or counsellor.

If you have decided to seek professional support to deal with and overcome your social anxiety, you can start by making an appointment to see your normal doctor. You may benefit from talking it through with her, and asking about the different options available to you.
