Sewing Tips

·               All the seams need double machining. This helps the stitch not to rip so easily.

·               While sewing the shoulder seams, start from the armhole edge to the neck edge, double machine the seam. Make sure that the second stitch does not shift from the seam line.

·               All the straight seams should be stitched in a straight line, irregularities will affect the appearance of the garment.

·               While attaching the facing, keep the work piece straight.

·               While making gathers, set machine on the largest stitch size, loosen the top tension slightly and machine two rows, one on the seam line and one 0.56 centimetre above it. Wind the top threads round a pin and pull up to the desired length by the bobbin thread only. Ease the fabric gently while pulling to avoid breaking the thread.

·               While attaching an eased or gathered section of a garment, always keep it on top to ensure evenness and to keep the gathers from shifting.

·               While attaching pocket and while stitching down the pleats, double-machine the edges for reinforcement.

·               While attaching ruffles or lace, provide extra ease at corners.

·               A curved seam is stitched in the same way as plain seam but the edges are notched so that the seams may be pressed flat.
