1) Place the right sides of the material facing each other and with the edges level. Pin and tack along the fitting line;

2) Remove the pins and machine just a little above or below the tacking;

3) Remove the tacking and press open the seam;

4) Neaten the open seam by one of the following ways:

(a) machine -fold in O.5cm of the raw edge and machine very near to the edge

(b) pinking the edges with pinking shears

(c) over casting the raw edges

(d) loop-stitching the raw edges: this is suitable for flannel and brushed cotton

(e) binding -by using crossway strip. This method is suitable for arm hole and waist line seams. Binding should be used on flimsy material otherwise the thickness of the seam will cause wear and tear around the areas.
