Burda Style For people who sew

Cuffs
Close the cuff by closing it to form a circle. Press the allowances apart. Fold the cuff in half and pin the edges on top
of each other.

Stitch the lower sleeve edge twice, stitching parallel using large stitches. Tighten the length of the under thread to the width of the sleeve cuffs plus 1 1/2 “ (4 cm). Knot threads. Distribute the width equally (a).

Pin the cuff onto the lower sleeve edge, the seams meet. Stretch the cuff to sleeve width, then pin and stitch using an elastic stitch. Trim allowances and neaten altogether. Turn the cuff down (b).

Hemline:
Tip: Use a TWIN NEEDLE to stitch the hemline. Stitch onto the right side of the fabric, using two needle threads and one bobbin thread and a straight stitch adjustment. The bobbin thread stitches zigzag stitches. That way the fabric won’t stretch when sewing and the edge will remain elastic.

Fold the hemline to the inside and press, pin. Use a twin needle to stitch the hemline edge _” (1.2 cm) wide, thereby stitching the hemline ©.
