Gathering Over a Cord
Ordinary gathering with a basting stitch often
breaks while pulling in fullness. A small zigzag
across a cord such as crochet thread or carpet
thread,
gives
a
much
stronger
cord
for
gathering
fullness
into
fabrics.
(Fig.75)
Once
the
gathers
have
been
stitched
in
place,
the
cord can be pulled out in order to eliminate
bulk. (Fig.76)

Lace Application
.Attaching laces or trims adds a special touch
to lingerie, dresses, or linens. Pin or baste lace
in
place
easing
or
mitering
comers
where
necessary.
A
straight
edged
lace
or
braid
has
a
convenient
line
to
follow
when
sewing.
(Fig.77)
When
using
a
scalloped
edged
lace
follow
the
design
of
the
lace
for
an
almost
invisible application. (Fig.78)

Lettuce Hem
An
unusual
way
of
hemming
or
finishing
edges of tricot or soft knits is by a lettuce
edge. (Fig.79) Hemming in this manner is just
like
overcasting
an
edge,
but
the
fabric
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.
(Fig.80)
When
you
stop
to
reposition
your hands, keep the needle in the fabric.
