I learned this tip through a Threads DVD -- Insider Tricks - about 1/4" before you finish your dart point, slip a small square piece of material under the dart -- now finish the dart by sewing off onto the material, then back tack onto the small square of material. You eliminate the usual puckering by back tacking on the small square. Iron your darts on both sides(I always use a ham). You will have beautiful darts that disappear into the fabric. Follow this simple tip and you'll never have that pucker at the end of your dart. These darts are supposed to be for skirts and pants, but I also use them for bodice. For making bust darts using sheer and light weight material, I make French seam darts.learningnewtrickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15757038700924638755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8675514176862024940.post-26188279969158491862011-07-31T11:47:07.296+02:002011-07-31T11:47:07.296+02:00Well, you may think your sewing has been disastero...Well, you may think your sewing has been disasterous, but I think you rnew tops are just gorgeous! A very successful outcome! And did you make those pants? LOVE them. They are beautifully finished and a lovely flattering shape.<br />Thank you so much for your comment. I love Kaffe Fassett stuff, and have made several quilts, cushions and jumpers inspired by his work!Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03156106727490224625noreply@blogger.com
