Burda Style For people who sew

SEAM AND HEMLINE ALLOWANCES are included on an average:
No seam and no allowances at the long edges of the pleated piece? and don’t neaten the edges. Otherwise 5/8” (1.5 cm) for all edges and stitches. Using BURDA copying paper, transfer the lines and signs of the pattern onto the wrong fabric side. Instructions can be found in the packaging.

SEWING
While sewing, the right sides of the fabric are facing.
Transfer all lines of the pattern onto the right side of the fabric using basting stitches.

ADVICE FOR WORKING WITH STRETCHY FABRICS:
You can achieve the best results from working with stretchy fabrics when using an Overlock machine. The seams will be
especially elastic so that they won’t rip when wearing the garment. If you don’t have an Overlock machine, stitch the
seams using a special elastic stitch or a narrowly adjusted zigzag stitch. Be aware that the thread tension shouldn’t be
too tight. For delicate knit fabrics use a ballpoint needle that won’t damage the fabric.
