Seam Allowence With Stretch Blindstitch; Blindhem Stitch - Singer CG-500 Commercial Grade Workbook

Seam Allowances with Stretch

Blindhem Stitch

This technique is ideal for making an unlined garment or when the seam
allowances may show. All the edges are finished prior to construction. This
prevents raveling of the fabric and makes a professional finish on woven and
knit fabrics.
