Easing • Easing is making a larger piece of fabric fit with a smaller piece of fabric as a seam is sewn. • It allows extra fabric to be provided at certain points on the body. • For example: extra fabric is allowed in the back shoulder to make room for the shoulder bone.
Change the stitch length for the basting stitch using the top “+” button Basting Stitch
Sew a basting stitch across the top longest piece – ¼ seam allowance
Plain Seam 5/8 inch seam allowance
Gathering • Gathering means to work in fullness. • Generally, gathering is used to work in a greater amount of fullness than easing.
