Simple seams are the basis of all good sewing different seams are used to cotton to
the type of government and the material used.
Plain seam edges ping.
Thinking is one of the simplest
and most commonly used finishes for firm will sail can cut in fabrics.
The first step in making the simple seam is to place the right sides of the two
pieces of material together. Be sure both edges are even before pinning.
Pins are placed at right angles to the edges.
This makes it possible to baste over them without danger of pricking your fingers
on the pins measure the scene with allowing free eights
to one half inch.
Then base the seam a single thread should always be used in basting.
The knot displaced a little to one side of the line of stitching to prevent the
machine needle from passing through it.
Be sure the work is kept flat
or not pressured as your base.
Stitching on the machine is done using the inside edge of the presser foot as a
guide it should follow beside the basting in a straight line
after stitching remove the basting keep the work smooth and.
Flat to avoid wrinkling
and tearing holes in the material pink
the seam edges together with pinking shears cutting away just as little of the
material as possible.
Now the pink dead seam is ready for pressing pressed the edges together on the
wrong side of the material.
Then turn it over and press on the right side making sure
that there are no falls on the right side a more common practice is to press the
edges open the choice is determined by the type
and thickness of material location of the seam in the garment
or by individual preference
plain seam edges overcast overcast edges are necessary on
materials with Ravel readily such as world ends and other loosely woven fabric.
Again the simple seam is made by placing the right sides of the material together.
Keeping the edges even
and stitching in a straight line along the basting the seam
is pressed open as before an electric steam iron may be used to advantage in
pressing woolens of all types.
Overcast each head separately working from left to right
because Apple not to pull the three.
Too tight as the scene will gather
and the edges roll under Finnish
press the seam on both the right and wrong sides.
After pressing the same should lie flat
and smooth edges may be
overcast together particularly on armholes yokes
or other points of Design where the seam edges naturally fall together
plain seam edges stitched the stitched edged is a popular seam finish for silk
grey on your dress wait woolens it is used extensively in fine ready to wear first
press a simple seem open press both sides as usual
then turn under about one eighth of an inch of each pair judge
and crease with the fingers
after finger pressing stitch on the machine close to the folded edge making sure
that the body of the material is pushed to one side where it won't interfere with
stitching the seam
finish pressed the seam on both the wrong
and right sides careful pressing is the finishing touch to good tailoring
plain seam edges bound seam tape
or silk bias is used on seams in tailored garments especially unlined coats
and jackets.
Baste the folded tape to the raw edge of the seam the tape is folded with one side
slightly wider than the other the right side of the tape should be placed on the
underneath side of the seam to ensure catching it
when stitching on the machine puckering
may result if the tape is not applied correctly.
Tape should be kept smooth
but not drawn tightly over the seam after basting the
taper stitched on the machine with the top side up stitch along the side of the
basting thread this simplifies removing the basting
remove the basting just before keeping the material smooth and flat.
Finish pressed the seam on both sides either a regular electric iron an electric
steam iron may be used on woollen fabrics when a regular on is used a damp
and pressing cloth must be placed over the material to avoid shining
or scorching edges
are often bound together to avoid booking a surround armholes yolks
and seams at the waist line with the edges together base to tape to the edges of
the seam stitch on the edge of the tape with the narrow side up
clip the threads and remove the base things before pressing.
Fanny's pressed on the wrong side using a pressing cloth
plain seam catch stitched the catch
that seam is used on heavy materials Quest seams tend to rule
and will not stay pressed flat to the garment
and making the catch stitch catch the needle in a few threads of fabric just beyond
the seen
and then in the seam point
the needle to your left as you progress to the right.
The stitches should not sure on the right side of the material.
Press carefully on both sides.
So the seam will not show on the right side
plain seam topstitch topstitching is used to strengthen
seams and put decorative
and design purposes first pink the edges of the plane
seam.
Then open the material
and finger press stitched the desired whit from the
fooled using the presser foot as a guide.
And so your ability to make well tailored clothes close with
that finish professional appearance.
Depends upon how well you master one of the most important fundamentals of sewing.
Simple seam.
