Description

A couple of new patterns I've been working on require you to do some ditch stitching, here's how you do it....

Instructions

  1. Small dsc04115

    Press the seam open.

  2. Small dsc04118

    With the right side facing up gently pull the fabric either side of the seam so that the stitching is exposed, this is the ditch.

  3. Small dsc04124

    Don't rush this next bit, stitch exactly down the centre of the seam (in the ditch) through the layers underneath. Once you let go of the fabric your stitching should be almost invisible.
