HOME DRESSMAKERS
When hemming stockinette, tack the material up to the required depth and herringbone the raw edges flat to the garment. This prevents the stitching from cracking when the. hem is stretched. Skirts that are to be pleated should have the hem lnndo and stitched before the pleating is done. Cut away the seam turnings and make as flat as possible. Curved seams must be notched or they will not lie flat when pressed open and will draw the seam.
