- Describe three ways of reinforcing the end of a machine-stitched dart.
Answers
- Three ways of reinforcing the end of a machine-stitched dart include:
- Stitch backwards for two or three stitches over the previous stitches at the point of double stitching: This method involves reversing the sewing machine and stitching back over the last few stitches to create a secure hold, preventing the dart from unraveling.
- Thread the two threads into a needle and push them into the fold: By threading both the top and bobbin threads through a needle and inserting it into the fold of the fabric, you can secure the stitches within the fabric layers, providing additional reinforcement.
- Knot threads securely: After completing the dart, tying a strong knot with the threads ensures that they do not slip or come undone, adding durability to the seam.
