But how to sew it so that the product does not stretch and skew? An oblique inlay is a strip cut from the fabric in the “oblique” direction, that is, at an angle of 45 degrees with respect to the shared thread. It is desirable that the fabrics of the main product and the oblique inlay match each other in color
that and structure. It is not difficult to calculate the width of the strip when cutting - it should be twice as wide as in the finished form, with an addition of a small distance to the hem. But always the width of the inline should not exceed 3 cm, otherwise it will not be so elastic. Now there are many ready-made slanting pegs on sale. But if you decide to do everything yourself, then first you need to smooth the take-up with an iron, folding it in half. The wrong side of the fabric should be inside. Having carefully smoothed the fold, we wrap the edges of the inlay inward and also iron it carefully. It is very important not to stretch the trim and fold its edges evenly. It’s better not to finish to the end than to make amends incorrectly, crookedly.
