The Whys and Wherefores of Step 6
|
WHY finish inside seams?
BECAUSE an inside finish insures a longer lasting garment and because an inside finish adds to the garment's general appearance.
|
WHY are there two methods for joining a collar?
BECAUSE a collar that is worn closed should hug the neckline. Therefore Method One is preferable. If the collar is worn open, the alternate joining method would apply.
|
WHY use bias for edge finishes?
WHY stay a waistline?
BECAUSE fabric that is cut on the true bias is more pliable and is easily shaped to all edges.
BECAUSE staying lends support to all seams and joining, and gives a better fit at the waist.
