LiWGERIE SEAIVIS
To make seams in lingerie durable and
flexible, use a combination of straight and
zig-zag stitching.
For f-inch bias seam in woven fabric:
© Straight-stitch the seam (with stitch
width at I ) on wrong side of fabric.
® Press both seam allowances in the
same direction. Then, from the right
■ side, top-stitch with narrow zig-zag
stitching, letting needle alternately
enter seam line and seam thickness.
For narrow seams in nylon tricot:
® Cut fabric for f-inch seam allowance.
® Straight-stitch seam line on wrong side
of fabric. Then place a line of medium­
wide, open zig-zag stitching close to
the straight stitching.

methods of finishing seams in such fabrics:
trimming seam edge or overedging.
Make a test sample first to determine
which method best suits your fabric.
