Excerpted from Power Sewing Step-By-Step Power Sewing: Choices and Techniques for Binding Add a lively touch to jacket and vest edges with these options for binding
I am continually inspired by techniques I see in ready-to-wear, and I love the challenge of figuring out "how they do that." You will find many of these techniques in Power Sewing Step-By-Step, including inserting a zipper opening in a pocket; adding an elasticized waistband; choosing interfacing and knowing where to put it; making fast, profession al hems; creating innovative pockets; trimming a neckline with tiny bias binding; as well as a slick, professional method for joining the bias ends on a neckline. I also explain the nuances of each technique, so you'll get professional, flawless results. In this excerpt, you'll find ways to use binding to add a lovely touch to a jacket or vest.
