So as you saw in the last clip, the unitard fit. In this clip we're going to trim the
excess threads and hem it. For this I'm going to use a straight stitch machine. And I'm
going to set my thread, my thread density or my number of stitches per inch to about
ten or eleven. That's pretty long. It doesn't need to be a basting stitch which is a very
wide open stitch, but I don't want to pull it too tight. Now I'm just going to give this
a single fold. That's the fabric edge when they have it in the machine. See that it's
only painted until right there. And I'm going to do a single fold there and just run it
right along the edge in a straight stitch manner. I'm going to hem both legs and the
neck right now. Of course, I've decided I want a long sleeve unitard, so in the next
clip I'll cut out the sleeves. You'll notice, before I started I went forwards and backwards
just to set the thread. And that reminds me, the thread, I use a very very strong thread,
a five-seven-one.
