Sewing Techniques

Hi Sewing Friends:

The usual sewing technique that you most often see for gathering fabric or making ruffles is to use 2 rows of basting stitches (one is made at 1/2 inch from the edge and the other is stitched 1/4 inch from the cut edge of the fabric).  Then, you pull the two threads and what happens?

The thread often breaks before you can finish your gathering project.  Your gathers are not nice and even.  And, you are upset.

If you liked this post, buy me a nice herbal tea and mini muffin to help keep me going. I don’t care for beer, but thanks for the tea! Hope it stimulates lots more sewing tips for you.Bookmark to:
