The Whys and Wherefores of Step 7
WHY reinforce curved seams?
WHY machine stitch around top of sleeve?
WH Y is there an underlay in a skirt placket?
WHY line an applied belt?
BECAUSE the stitching controls the ease which is necessary for shaping the cap, or curved part of the sleeve.
BECAUSE there is usually more strain on inside curved seams, and reinforcing helps to prevent seam breaking.
|
BECAUSE the underlay supports the belt which overlaps at the closing and serves as a guard for the zipper.
|
BECAUSE the lining lends support to the fabric and helps keep the belt from stretching out of shape.
