Inserting
godets into a seam:
This
varies with each design. Given here is the method most commonly
used.
1. Prepare and stitch the seam to where the godet starts.
Fasten off the threads securely and press the seam open.
2. Stitch one side of the godet to the open end of the
seam line and press open or away from the godet. Make sure that the godet seam line meets the
end stitch
of the upper seam line and fasten off the threads securely.
3. Stitch other seam line of the godet similarly.
4. The junction of the upper seam line and the godet
point is usually very weak. This is how to strengthen it.
Unfold
the seam allowance at the point of the godet and spread it over the
end of the upper seam (figure a).
Turn
the work to the outside and make a tiny bar catching in both sides
of
the upper seam and the underlying godet seam allowance (figure b). Use
your button
stitch on machine if you have one.
Turn
the work to the inside again and gently press seam allowance back
into position.
