kgg Posted January 23, 2019 Report Posted January 23, 2019 A way to do a lap fold if you don't want to spend the money on an attachments or a extra machine or you only are going to it once in awhile is to place your material good side to good side with the edges matched then tack stitch the matching edges together every few inches or glue the matching edges together or do a full stitch run close to the edge of the matching edges. Fold the top piece over the seam to give you the layover size you want, say a 1/2", then sew down the lapped over piece. One row of stitches maybe ok depending on the size of the layover and thickness of material more then likely a 1/2" lap over will require two stitch runs to get it to lay flat. kgg Quote Juki DNU - 1541S, Juki DU - 1181N, Singer 29K - 71(1949), Chinese Patcher (Tinkers Delight), Warlock TSC-441, Techsew 2750 Pro, Consew DCS-S4 Skiver
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted January 23, 2019 Contributing Member Report Posted January 23, 2019 Just goes to show, sometimes a simple question gets answers like "subtract 9 from Tuesday". It SEEMS she's talking about sewing a lap joint ON A CURVE. Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law." IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.
