WEAVING SEAMS
With the right side of both pieces facing you and edges even, sew through both sides once to secure the seam. Insert the needle under the bar between the first and second stitches on the row and pull the yarn through (Fig. 1). Insert the needle under the next bar on the second side. Repeat from side to side, being carefulto match rows. If the edges are different lengths, itmay be necessary to insert the needle under two bars at one edge.
