in swimsuits or for joining strips of fabric
to make an entire garment section.

the raw edges of the fabric strips or
seams to be joined. Press flat.

to be joined on to tissue paper, leaving
a space and stitching as follows,
# Stitch, guiding the two fabric edges
under the centre of the presser foot,
leaving a space (abut edges for bathing

and two stitches in the centre of the
opening. Remove tissue paper.
