How to Sew Knitted Strips Together

- Trim the edges of the fabric strips, trimming only the selvage edges if the fabric is already ravel-free.

- If sewing with different fabrics, align them so that the right sides are facing each other.

2. Stitch the fabric strips together using a serger

- Use a 3-thread seam with a stitch length of 2.5 to 3.5 mm.

- Overlap the fabric strips by 1 inch (2.5 cm) and sew them together, ensuring that the fabric edges are aligned.

- Trim the excess fabric from the seam allowance to 1/4 inch (0.5 cm).

3. Stitch the fabric strips together using a sewing machine

- Use a stretch stitch (e.g., straight stitch with a long stitch length or zigzag stitch) with a stitch length of 3 mm.

- Overlap the fabric strips by 1 inch (2.5 cm) and sew them together, ensuring that the fabric edges are aligned.

- Trim the excess fabric from the seam allowance to 1/4 inch (0.5 cm).

Note: Be sure to test your sewing machine settings on a scrap of fabric to ensure that the stitches are secure.

4. Press and flatten the seams

- Gently iron the seams flat so they lay nicely against the fabric.

5. Continue stitching the fabric strips together

- Repeat steps 2 or 3 until all the fabric strips are stitched together.
