I recently bought some material that is micropleated. How do I sew it, especially finishing the hems?
I would love to make a top with this. Do I stretch out the pleats when sewing together the seams? I have a serger, should I serge the hem? Thanks in advance for your help.
Do not stretch out the pleats. First fold a piece of tissue over the entire seam, or iron-on seam binding to hold the pleats in place, then you can sew as usual, either standard stitch, zig-zag, or serge.
If you need further instruction, visit or call your local fabric store or the sewing machine dealer.
