Carol Perkins: The Stretch Stitch

Previous Column: On the Road Again

By Carol Perkins

The cute material I found to make teddy bears for the Metcalfe Shoebox Mission was a stretchy knit, which is challenging to navigate around ears, arms, and legs. The setting on my sewing machine needed to be for a stretch stitch.

I picked up the manual and read, which is something I don't like to do. I scanned the index for the next fifteen minutes but found nothing about a stretch stitch. I learned about a dozen other stitches, but not the one I needed.

A picture showed where the tension for a similar stitch was located, but there was no such "wheel" on the side of my machine.

LWC Symposium explores Synergy in Leadership

From Duane Bonifer

Different paths and ways to build effective teams through leadership were put under the microscope at the 2025 Lindsey Wilson College L3 Leadership Symposium, held Thursday, March 27, in the college's W.W. Slider Humanities Center Recital Hall.

A nonet of speakers discussed, examined and explored the multitude of traits and characteristics that contribute to the theme of this year's symposium, "Synergy in Leadership: Building, Leading and Thriving in Teams."

"What does it mean to be a team, and how do you get them to thrive together?" Director of Civic Engagement, Student Leadership and the Bonner Scholar Program Kisha Burton '13, who organized the symposium, asked the audience. "That's what we will hear from our speakers."

Drawn from the college's student body, faculty and staff - what Burton called "a wonderful meeting of the minds from all parts of campus" - the three trios of speakers offered a wide range of approaches to forming and building a team that can thrive in many environments and conditions.
