Sewing up a baby shawl
by Isobel Naylor
It has to have the edges sewn to the middle part with a flat seam (I think it's a flat seam). Now I know I will have to gather the edges a little bit to fit them to the middle but when I sew the flat seam there is a ridge on the right side.....Is this supposed to be?
Will be very greatful for any advice.
Thank You Isobel.
YOUR ANSWER
Hi Isobel.
I certainly wouldn't want a ridge on the right side if I was making the shawl!
What I suggest is that you do an invisible seam instead. With this method you sew it up with the right side facing you so that you can see how the seam is going together as you are working.
Instructions for the invisible seam method are on this page.
Good luck!
