GATHERING
OVER
A CORD
Ordinary
gathering
with
a
basting
stitch
often
breaks
while
pulling
in
fullness.
A
small
zigzag
across
a
cord
such
as
crochet
thread
or
carpet
thread,
gives
a
much
stronger
cord
for
gathering
fullness
into
fabrics.
Once
the
gathers
have
been
stitched
in
place,
the
cord
can
be pulled
out
in
order
to eliminate
bulk.

Attaching
laces
or trims
adds
a
special
touch
to
lingerie,
dresses,
or linens.
Pin

easing

neccessary.
A
straight
edged
lace
or braid
has
a
convenient
line
to follow
when
sewing.
When
using
a
scalloped
edged
lace
follow
the
design
of
the
lace
for
an
almost
invisible
application.

FLUTTER
HEM
An
unusual
way
of
hemming
or
finishing
edges
of
tricot
or
soft
knits
is
by
a
flutter
edge.
Hemming
in
this
manner
is
just
like
overcasting
an
edge,
but
the
fabric
is
stretched
in
back
and
in
front
of
the
needle
as
you
sew.
For
best
results,
pull
the
fabric
equally,
making
sure
the
needle
goes
over
the
edge.
When
you
stop
to
reposition
your
hands,
keep
the
needle
in
the
fabric.,
