Friday Fun Fact Today we're revisiting an essential technique: stay-stitching. Often the first step in sewing directions, the job of a stay-stitch is to prevent the fabric edge stretching and warping. It's usually done on a curved area such as a neckline, armhole, or waistline.
Here's what you need to know about stay-stitching: * It's done through only ONE layer - you're not joining any pieces yet, just reinforcing. * Use a normal length straight stitch. * Check your directions for seam allowance! A stay-stitch is usually done at a smaller allowance than the seamline, and necklines can specify as little as 1/4". Listen to your pattern. * Go in the direction of the arrows, if any. This might mean doing two passes. * It doesn't matter which side of the fabric is facing up. Check out all our Friday Fun Facts in the archive here! |
