Lesson 3 of 3 · 5 min
Finishing a seam
A neat finish keeps a seam from fraying and makes the piece last.
- Trim the seam allowance to about 1 cm.
- Fold each raw edge under by half.
- Stitch along the fold with small, even stitches.
Press each seam with an iron before you move on: it makes the next step easier.
That's the end of the course. Mark this lesson as done, then get your certificate.
