Beautifully podstrochit open cuts on thin tissue is quite problematic and difficult, as the flowing material can crumble and literally "float" in the hands.Want to get a great result in a neat, tastefully tucked edge?Use the Moscow seam.Let us consider the main stages of its implementation in the form of step by step instructions with photos.

Moscow seam: the distinguishing features of the technology and secrets implementation

This method is a treat open cuts is the most suitable for delicate fabrics (photo 1), which are rare and transparent structure.When working with such materials, there are occasions when the scar "removed" (especially when edging on overlock) together with stitching.Therefore it is necessary to use special technology.The basic principle of performance - double podvorot and stitching almost "seam in seam".Ready hem gives a very narrow (no more than 3-4 mm) and hand does not weigh the product.What is the secret of such jewelry, fine workmanship?Moscow seam is different from other special technology internal processing.The fact cutting the free section of tissue from the edge very close to the line laid.Then, after the second tuck next to or on top of finishing first performed in Moscow seam.Driving in finished form as follows: from the wrong side of the edge trim are two lines (nearly uniform), and on the front - one.

Step One: podvorot and stitching

  1. Pre otutyuzhte cloth.
  2. Cut, if necessary, in the form of fringe disheveled edge of the canvas.
  3. Position the fabric face down.
  4. Tuck the edge of 9-10 mm.
  5. Make a line close to the edge.Its distance should be less than 2 mm.Stitch width standard.Make sure that there is no tightening of the web.

start out this way, Moscow seam chiffon, silk and other fabrics the air, provided that the edge goes to the share or the transverse direction.And how to act, for example, in finishing bottom flared skirt?It is a little complicate the implementation of the first stage.With the additional actions will eventually result in a neat and elegant.

embodiment, the first tuck

little complicated way to perform the initial stage tuck better use if the fabric cut in an oblique direction or the edge of an arcuate shape.Usually, this problem occurs in the processing of the bottom of the dress or skirt with a cut in the shape of a flare.Seam in such models are no more than 1-1.5 cm, as podvorot on the oblique area, even slightly increased, will be wavy.So, to achieve accuracy, it is necessary to pave the provisional line-label, the expanded track.Then, turning in the fabric, then iron it immediately to secure the shape (Photo 2).Only then do the first line, in accordance with paragraph 5 of the first stage described above.It is in this little complication variant is often performed in Moscow seam on curtains of fine fabrics when placing swags, where there are different directions when cutting threads.

Step two: cutting cloth

start internal processing of the seam.With sharp scissors cut off from the wrong side of the interval from the edge of the fabric to stitch very close (photo 3).Leave a small gap just 1 mm.Ready result is much neater if stitched edge to pull a semi-circle on the index finger of the left hand and the right to control a pair of scissors, feeling at the same time support and limitation.It is important at this stage not to overdo it, to inadvertently damage the seam line, and the rest of the fabric is too wide, too to anything.As you can see, the Moscow joint - pretty jewelry and painstaking work.For its quality performance, in addition to the efforts required, and even a great eye and a steady hand.After cutting tuck can repeat the ironing iron.

Step Three: second stitch

  1. Fold the edge of the width of 2-2.5 mm, so that the first line is located in the middle.
  2. paving machines seam "needle in a needle" and a few close, stepping left 1-1.5 mm.Try with several stretch fabric and avoid skewing, especially in a different direction common thread (photo 4).

practically performing this step, it can be concluded that the width of the finished hem will depend on the location with respect to the edge of the web of the first seam.Therefore, the better the workpiece has been made, the better the result.

So we looked at all the details of how to make Moscow seam chiffon, silk or any fine fabrics.Of course, this stitch is applicable to other materials (except for very dense) - crepe, satin, calico, and others. The use of this technology allows to process slices neatly and beautifully, even without special equipment on hand to perform the decorative elements of products.
