A dainty hair-line finish is particularly desirable for the inside seams of sheer collars, facings ¿nd
yokes. Seam allowances that ordinarily show through are eliminated.
Both heavy duty thread and tatting thread make suitable filler cords (see page 47 for threading).
Follow the seam outline covering the cord. Cut away seam allowance close to line of stitching.
Turn and press.
