How to finish the edge of chiffon

Vera Olkhovskaya

processingand open cuts of chiffon and other delicate fabrics stop many home couturiers,

despite the fact that the technology does not stand still.

Many questions remain about when to use certain sutures. Read and watch video...

In this video sewing master class for beginners, not only the Moscow seam is considered, but also other edge seams with which it can be replaced.

By the way, the Moscow seam has always been a measure of the skill of paying tailors, although the narrowness of its use did not allow it to become popular "in wide circles."

In sewing dresses, this seam is not common, it is usually used when processing the edges of scarves made of thin silk fabrics.

And all because the Moscow seam is convenient to use only on the equity and transverse sections.

For angled cuts, it is not very suitable, as it also requires tension on the fabric close to the fold of the stitch.

As an alternative to Moscow, today it is well known roll seam. It allows you to easily and without special skills to process both lobar, transverse and oblique sections of thin tissues. Notice, not only chiffon, but also thin stretch, cambric and staple.

"Oblique" cuts are also good for picking.

The “oblique” cuts that are often found in sewing dresses are well processed with a seam with a rudder (roll) or pickled.

At the same time, the “handle” is preferable in cases where the processed cut must remain soft. For rigidity, it is better to use a pick. The more stitches, the stiffer the seam becomes.

An example where piping is necessary is any clothing with flounces and frills. For example, frill. Its edges can be pickled or edged if the shuttlecocks need to keep their shape.
