| 27: Sewing In Ends
(cont.)
Don’t weave an end around the edge stitches of
the seam, it will always unweave with wear [pic 4].
4: Don’t weave ends around the seam, they will unwind
with wear. To stay in place, the end should be sewn through the
seam.
Don’t sew any ends over
and over the seam. This will only make a big lump that could stick
out under the seam on the right side, and won’t hold any better than
using a sharp needle and sewing the thread firmly through the ridge
of the seam [pic 5].
5: Overstitching the seam makes a hard little bump
that might show as a lump on the right side.
---
If you have used two or
more colours, sew the ends in to the matching coloured seam. If you
have sewn in the ends properly, you shouldn’t even glimpse a sewn-in
end on the right side, but this is extra insurance [pic 6,7].
