Easy Underlining

by bunny

Underlining is when the lining fabric is attached to the fashion fabric and treated as one.

· Place the fashion fabric piece with wrong side up. Carefully lay on top and smooth out the lining fabric, matching edges and right side up on lining. Roll back one of your vertical edges for a few inches. Get your Sobo glue handy.

· Put small dots of Sobo glue about an inch apart on one edge of the fashion fabric. You will only be gluing vertical seams!

· Line up lining edges with fashion fabric, doing one edge at a time.

· Firmly press the fabrics together. Be careful not to get glue on the rest of the fabric or your surface.

· You now have your garment all underlined and ready to sew together. Treat these two layers as one. Only glue vertical seams. Finish seams with either serging, zigzag, or a Hong Kong finish, my favorite. Your garment will have better support, hang better, and last longer.
