DARTS

Darts can be made in the usual way on your

sewing machine. That is, you begin stitching at

the wide end of the dart, stitch to the point, and

then fasten the two thread ends.

Regular Darts

• stitch Width:

• Stitch Length: About 12 or to suit fabric

1. Stitch from the seam edge, tapering gradu

ally to the point.

2. Stitch beyond the fabric to form a thread

chain 1/2 to 3/4 inch long.

3. Tie the thread ends into a single knot close

to the stitching.

Darts in Interfacing

• stitch Width: 4

• stitch Length: About 20 or to suit fabric

With zig-zag stitching, darts in interfacings can

be shaped without bulk.

1. Cut out the dart allowance on the stitching

line.

2. Bring raw edges together and pin or baste

over a muslin stay.

3. Stitch, backstitching at both ends.
