 Topic: Umbrella StitchingPosted: 10 August 2018 at 8:53am |
|
I am making 2 new 10' offset umbrella covers using Top Notch 9 fabric & Profilen thread from Sailrite. In the video for making an umbrella when sewing gores together only one line of stitches is put in at each side of a gore panel, no seamstick, with no top stitch. I guess this is to make it nicer looking from the outside? Any reason not to top stitch?
If I don't top stitch then I am thinking of sewing binding to the seams on the underside of the umbrella to give it a nicer look from underneath. Anyone see a potential problem with this. Thanks, GlennC |

All
the techniques you described are acceptable and will not cause any issues with
your umbrella project. If you would like to add a top stitch you may do so, it
will add strength to the seam. Or if you like you can add a binding to the
underside of the seam. Please let us know if you have any more questions and
good luck with the umbrella project. |
