White 310 - Gathering over a Cord; Lace Application; Flutter Hem

GATHERING OVER A CORD
Ordinary gathering
with
a basting
stitch
often breaks thread
while
pulling in
full
ness.
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.

LACE APPLICATION
Attaching laces or trims adds
a
special
touch to lingerie, dresses, or linens.
Pin
or
baste lace in place easing
or mitering
corners where necessary.
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
tabric
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.
