Members 28ist Posted November 5, 2011 Members Report Posted November 5, 2011 I'm working on a project that when done will have multiple layers sewn together. In the past I've finished the edges of each piece before sewing them together. Is this the best way to do this or should I finish the edges as a whole after they've been assembled? Sorry for what is probably an inane question but I'm looking for suggestions before I continue. Quote My dog was sent here by the mothership to "prepare the planet". I know it's true because he told me so.
Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted November 5, 2011 Contributing Member Report Posted November 5, 2011 Treat the multiple layers as a single piece when doing the edge. Sand/cut the edge so that it's uniform, then begin slicking and burnishing it. Quote Mike DeLoach Esse Quam Videri (Be rather than Seem) "Don't learn the tricks of the trade.....Learn the trade."

Members 28ist Posted November 5, 2011 Author Members Report Posted November 5, 2011 Got it. Sew and treat as a single edge. Thanks for replies. Quote My dog was sent here by the mothership to "prepare the planet". I know it's true because he told me so.
