STEP 2

Stitch dart together so that the stitch line ends smoothly and gradually at the marked point. You can use pins as a guideline if you have trouble.

STEP 3

With the needle down, pivot foot around so that you’re facing back in the direction of the raw edge.

STEP 4

Stitch back down the folded edge a few centimetres and back tack. This eliminates unnecessary bulk at the dart point and makes for a neater finish.
