The old way of handling strech

Many home couturiers have difficulties with the processing of necklines, armholes and the bottom of knitwear.

The photo on the left shows a dress with a neckline, the bottom of the sleeves and the bottom of which are “hemmed” without the use of stitching, overlock and handmade.

The dress has withstood more than 10 machine washes and looks as good as right after sewing.

Stretch Dress Processing

Consider this simple and well-established method of "sewing".

All processed sections (neck, armhole or bottom of the sleeve, as well as the bottom of the product) are cut with serrated scissors.

We heat the iron to the maximum temperature possible for this fabric.

We bend the processed section by 1 cm and, laying an adhesive tape between the hem and the product (see photo), press it in with a hot iron.

For convenience, the braid can be cut into pieces 4-5 cm long.

Having pressed the section in this way, go over it with an iron again and make sure that the adhesive tape has melted between the layers of fabric and firmly fastened them.

If the sizing is not done well, then after washing the operation will have to be repeated.

However, this processing method is not suitable for all fabrics.

So, do the sample first.
