After calling for help in an earlier
post and wanting to throw my fabric down after what seemed like hours of youtube tutorials I used an awesome tutorial by Melanie on
Seamstress: Poppykettle on welt pockets. I am proud to say after what seemed like hours I have made my first welt pocket.
Check that one off the list :) I think I did it correctly.
But I do have some questions! (Also, seeing this was only a rough-draft I used white thread. I hope this doesn't distract you!)
1. How do you make sure your welt rectangle is straight? I am drafting it so I have no pattern.
2. How do you make it so it does not looked "pulled"? I am assuming it is because the stiching lines when I first started were not perfectly even.
2a. How do I ensure my stitch lines are even? My machine back-stitches kinda funky. Any hints?
3. The welt seems crooked. Why??
4. Any other hints/helpful tricks?
