UNGERIE SEAMS
To make seams in lingerie durable and
flexible, use a combination of straight and
zig-zag stitching.
Method 1
For 1.5 cm 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.
Method 2
For narrow seams in nylon tricot:
• Cut fabric for 1.5 cm 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.

edging. Make a test sample first to deter
mine which method best suits your fabric.
