Sewing lessons from Vera Olkhovskaya
The set-in bar is probably one of the best inventions of mankind in the field of sewing clothes. It comes in a variety of styles, lengths and widths and allows you to cleanly finish the closure when sewing a dress, blouse or polo shirt.
In this video tutorial on sewing, we will look at one of the simplest set-in slats available in complexity for beginner tailors.
This set-in bar is somewhat different from the traditional one, since the strips of which it consists do not overlap each other, but are arranged end to end ...
So, we start sewing with markings. We will need a half-skid line (the middle line of the shelf), two verticals, to which we will attach the bar to stitch it, and a horizontal line that limits the bar in length.
In the lower part, you can duplicate a fragment of the shelf to strengthen the corners of the plank.
It is also desirable to duplicate the fastener blanks and be sure to iron them in half lengthwise.
After that, they must be placed on the shelf, guided by the marking lines and stitched with a straight line.
It is very important that both lines are the same length, and their lower ends should be fixed with special care.
After checking the quality of the lines and, if necessary, correcting the defects, the bar is cut and turned inside out.
The inverted bar should be fixed at the bottom with a horizontal line. If the vertical stitches were of different lengths or the bartacks were not strong enough, the horizontal stitch will not work.
After that, the bar must be swept and ironed.
The allowances of the strap are overcast and it must be ironed again.
The plank made on this style does not require stitching, therefore it is ready!
