I have checked my copy of the book, a 1972 edition, and found the illustrations relating to frills applied to an edge, where this method of neatening is used. It seems they have missed a trick in not showing this method being used on a waist seam. To neaten the edge of seam where a gathered skirt is attached to a bodice, they suggest an extra line of stitching and pinking (so fraying will be inevitable) or overcasting by hand, or a line of zigzagging. None of these methods would do the job half so well.<br /><br />Love, MuvMuvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00734374133479479218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1895516057450453227.post-152836386311664332015-08-15T23:50:52.987+01:002015-08-15T23:50:52.987+01:00I have seen this tip in the Singer Sewing book, if...I have seen this tip in the Singer Sewing book, if you read about ruffles. It is also in more detail (with other methods) in the book they did for sewing students, but I don't have that one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1895516057450453227.post-37578044252595963412014-03-21T21:58:39.880+00:002014-03-21T21:58:39.880+00:00What a great idea!!
