Bias hem Best technique to avoid puckers?
purplebouquet Advanced AR USA Member since 11/16/05 Posts: 1002	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 4/15/08 11:24 AM What's the best way to stitch a narrow bias hem of the curved hem of a princess shirt? Or a round or oval tablecloth for that matter? A small zigzag? I want to avoid puckers. I have already serged the edges for a clean finish. The fabric is fairly stiff, and there is a button placket, so a rolled hem is not possible. Nancy Zieman addresses this on her show once, but I forgot. Thank you. Claudia

Here is Gigi Louis' excellent article.
