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:
0
• 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.
