Linen seam for bed linen

What is high-quality linen seam for bed linen? Thanks to him, achieved special strength and beautiful appearance of products.

How to make a clothesline at home?

This sewing technique is special, it is somewhat more difficult to carry out at home than at the factory.

There are 3 main varieties of the technique: sewing stitching, double and hem. The latter is used for cutting and sewing such an element of bedding as a sheet. Thanks to a well-made seam, the edges are smooth and neat. Width parameters can be any, and in order for the fabric not to be deformed during the washing and ironing process, it is recommended to make a wide enough bend - from 4 - 5 to 30 mm. Before sewing, mark up with crayon or soap. If desired, make a basting.

Linen stitching seam

The second name of this seam is denim. The execution algorithm looks like this:

• parts are applied between the inside of the front sides;
• cut in the lower part of the material is produced at 0, 8 cm;
• the cut, which turned out to be around a part of the material above;
• stitching is performed.

Double linen stitch

Double linen seam is simple and performed in a softer technique. The execution technique is as follows:

• prepared patterns are carefully folded in half, the inner sides look at each other;
• the cut is aligned, grabs with the distance from the edge to 0.5 mm;
• parts need to be turned inside out;
• seam, which turned out, finish hands, the next line is placed a little further (remember about concealing the allowance of the first side of the second).

The material sewn by this method does not go out as aesthetically beautiful and neat as a stitching seam - it is located on the side, it does not differ in elasticity. If there is no machine for marking the edges, it is advisable to resort to this method.

How to hem a sheet

Many are interested in the question: how to hem a sheet on a typewriter or manually? The most reliable option of fastening - the linen seam.

Optionally, they are complemented by edging or overcasting, which provides protection against the appearance of mahr and deformation. It is also advisable to use a hem joint to prevent skewing of the cut.

Before starting work, it is important to inspect the fabric - if there is a marriage, immediately mark the parties that are not suitable for use. Wash the material, walk on the canvas with an iron - it will protect against possible problems with the size of the finished product (some fabrics tend to run together). To prevent the tissues from slipping, pin the desired areas around the perimeter with pins. Their heads should be turned in the direction of the slice - when the sweeping of tissues begins, the needles should be removed one by one.

It is important to pay attention to the quality of pins - if rust appears on the surface, it should be discarded immediately, because stains do not wash off.
