Intro_large

I found this term curious, and so looked into what it was, only to discover that I'd started using this technique quite by accident. It really is very simple, but requires a steady hand and much concentration. This technique is great for getting facing to stay down, and largely does away with a need to painstakingly hand stitch it down. This purple dress has had its ditch stitched, and it is pretty much invisible.

Technique Materials

An existing blouse I had made for myself out of synthetic satin.
