I wish I could watch this being done! I am going to try it out as soon as I can get back into my sewing room after house remodel!

In'stead of backstitching at the dart cut end I prefer to reduce the stitchlenght about 1/2 inch before I reach the end of the dart end.But if you doing so you must be certain that the dart has not to be ripped because that is a very hard task with those very tiny stitches at the end.This way of finishing your dart seam can ofcourse also be used in every other seams which has to be sewed.Start and finish it this way is preferable for sewing with sheers.

Els, great tip. I have used the small stitch length to finish my darts every since I started sewing, and I've never had a problem with darts. It really works great. (You do have to mark them well and stitch carefully though!) I have not tried the bobbin method but it sure sounds interesting.

What a wonderful idea! Another method for getting the "inside" of a garment to look almost as nice as the "outside". I tried out your tip and i hope that I will always remember this good idea!

Excellent tip! I've read about this technique a couple of times before, but your explanation is the only one that makes it clear why, and how, to use this technique. Thanks!!
