CONTROL OF FULLNESS

straight stitching, and with a stitch length of 12 or less,
according to the fabric, place five rows of parallel stitching
3^8 inch apart, with the first row
Y
2
inch from the outside
edge. Draw threads to inside of garment at one end only and
tie. Form a pin tuck across the ends of stitching. Form
shirring by pulling the threads on inside of garment at
second end until shirring has been drawn together suffi
ciently so that garment sections match. Knot thread ends
and finish with a pin tuck. Join sections of garment together.
Three rows of stitching are visible when finished.
When controlling eased fullness in a sleeve cap, at
the elbow of a long fitted sleeve, in the shaping of a
circular hem or in joining yoke or fitting seams,
two lines of control stitching are used and pin
tucks are omitted.
