2. Creating Stretch Seams

Another significant benefit is the ease of use. Handheld stitchers are lightweight and designed for one-handed operation, allowing artisans to maintain control over their work. This ability to stitch while holding the leather firmly with the other hand leads to better results, making the entire sewing process more ergonomic.

While overlockers are often associated with commercial sewing, they are also incredibly beneficial for home sewers. An overlocker can elevate a hobbyist’s projects, providing a professional finish that significantly improves the appearance of homemade garments. Many modern overlockers come equipped with user-friendly features that make them accessible to sewists of all skill levels, including color-coded threading guides and adjustable stitch settings.

Cutting the fabric along the marked lines requires great precision. This is where the skill of the sewer comes into play. Using sharp scissors or rotary cutters, the fabric is cut carefully, making sure to follow the cutting lines exactly to avoid any discrepancies. Even a slight deviation can alter the fit and aesthetic, so attention to detail is paramount. After cutting, it is common practice to use notches and markings to indicate seam allowances, darts, and other important sewing details, further enhancing the accuracy of the garment assembly.
