Types of seams

There are manual and machine types of stitches in sewing. The first is most often used for sweeping the cut parts and for finishing the rough edges of the fabric. To do this, two pieces of fabric are folded and sewed from left to right across the edge. The stitches are made small, and the material is grasped by the needle almost at the edge. At the same time, the seam should not shrink the tissue, otherwise a scar may form when ironing.

Types of manual seams :

• Suture forward the needle. This is the simplest kind. The needle is driven forward and through the equal intervals of 2-3 mm pierces the tissue. Stitches when sweeping parts are made from 7 to 10 mm in length. Most often, such seams are used to identify the finishes, collect the fabric in the assembly, temporarily connect the parts and designate the middle.
• Seam for the needle. The needle is removed to the front with the purl and then, after retreating 2-3 mm behind, pierce the tissue. On the wrong side, make a stitch that is 2 times longer than the top, that is, from 4 to 6 mm and withdraw the needle again to the front. Such a seam is used to temporarily tighten the pieces of cut.
• Edge seam. Combine the sections of the parts, and then through the edge, with a silk thin thread, make small stitches, grabbing two or three threads of the edge. Lay the connected parts on both sides, then iron. It is usually used when there is not enough of a small piece on the cut-out part from the side of the edge.
• Copying stitches. Without tightening the thread, offset stitches from 7 to 10 mm in length, are laid along the contours of the parts. Then they separate and cut the suture with scissors.
• Hidden stitches. The cut of the allowance for the filing is bent, and then it is marked at a distance from the edge of 1-2 mm. When laying the seam, it is necessary to hold the needle and thread inside the hem - a stitch of 3 to 5 mm in length should be produced. With the needle out, you need to grab 1 or 2 threads of tissue, and then again draw the needle inside the fold. After the completion of the offset, the thread must not be visible either from the wrong side or from the front.
• Pivoting seam. Sew the material with a seam for the needle at a distance of 2mm from the edge. After turning inside out, the edge is trimmed, and, folding the seam with an accordion, gently fill it and reapply. Before scribing, it is necessary to lay a marking at a distance of 3 mm at the first seam and 5 mm at the second. Such a seam is used for sewing of chintz, cambric, satin and other similar fabrics.
• Stitching seam. The pieces of fabric are folded inward with the front side in such a way that one of them protrudes by 5 mm, stitches, the seam is leveled and the protruding edge is turned up to 3 mm, swept, then labeled and spread out.

Machine types of seams:

• Relief seams. They are subdivided into the line with the cord and without the cord, zastlichnye, vytaknye and tuning.

Screener types of seams are made on 2 and 4 needle machines, under the bottom laying for the bulge a strip of soft drape or batting. Preliminary outline the position of the first line. To make the seam look more bold, a thin lining is placed down , and then a cord is stretched between the fabric layer and the lines. To get a seam without a cord, make a protrusion on the needle plate and to bend the material - the notch in the sole of the foot.

Zastrichnye are performed by stitching on the front (it can be on the wrong side) of the part, bent over the notches. From the line to the inflection, the distance is from one and a half to two millimeters.

The taps are marked with one line on the wrong side. Then the detail is folded along the intended line with the front side inwards, laying a strip of fabric, is stuck in a half to two millimeters from the inflection line. After the seam, either iron or iron.

Stitching types of joints are performed with a strip of fabric and without. The seam line is marked on the front side. Then a strip of fabric is put from the inside and a connecting line is made on it. The part of the face is bent inside and is stuck at a distance of one and a half to two centimeters from the line. Bend the strip of fabric and put it on the other side of the line. Bend the part to the strip and staple;

• Seams with edging. These types of joints are divided into connecting and boundary;
• Wrinkles. They are subdivided into connecting, finishing, bilateral, one-sided, static, soft, zastlichnye and tuning.
