GLOSSARY
Finishing seam edges Knits do not fray or ravel
so a finished seam is not necessary. However,
there are two ways to achieve a professional
seam inside your garment with this pattern:
1. Use a serger when stitching the seams.
2. Use an overlock stitch or a zig-zag stitch
on your sewing machine when stitching
the seam.
