Stitch the seam twice, once at the regular width (1/2 or 5/8, your preference) and again at 1/4", OR<br />2. Stitch the seam, fold the raw edges to one side, and then topstitch over them at about 3/8". <br />Either method should give a good, reinforced seam. <br />xoxoxJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14907927065378243188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4541391086450934587.post-14664060264499484052009-05-13T06:16:00.000-07:002009-05-13T06:16:00.000-07:00Hey Betty Ann!

But if I were using a fabric that would ravel, I would probably finish the edges with a rolled hem. If the project was very casual, I might just stitch about 1/4" away from the raw edge to prevent a lot of fray.<br /><br />I LOVE Wardrobe ReFashion. I need to re-up for life, I think!

Check it out on my blog.<br />http://newlifewear.blogspot.com<br />I did it as a project for 'wardrobe refashion'.<br />I have white tshirt material waiting to do a white tshirt ruffle similar to yours, except I want a ruffle down the center front as well.<br />Did you finish the edges of the ruffle or are they raw?Betty Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13332322783660278229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4541391086450934587.post-22782705897332773682009-05-11T14:40:00.000-07:002009-05-11T14:40:00.000-07:00Oh, by the way, here is my email:

I've seen a lot of capelet tutorials, and yours makes the most sense to me, so thank you! : )<br /><br />I have a question that I'm hoping you can help me with, you seem very experienced and I would be most honored. I wanting to make bags of canvass to tote heaps of laundry, so the bags need to be durable. Canvass itself is pretty durable, so I guess what I'm concerned about is seams ripping. Is there a certain stitch that you would reccommend for something like this? That is, would you prefer a straight stitch over a zig-zag, or vice versa? I don't have access to a serger, just a regular ole Singer. : )<br /><br />Thank you, Jen! I hope you're having a wonderful day! : )<br /><br />Take care, <br />MeganAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
