Care for products that are cut along the oblique

Send

Products cut along the oblique flow and have incredible plasticity - folds and tails very beautifully fit, the model emphasizes all the bends of the figure and hides its flaws.

Slices of fabric along the oblique are stretched more than straight lines, so when sweeping long seams leave the loose ends of the basting thread so that when trying to stretch the basting. Then the seam will not be tightened.
Before hemming bottom edge dresses or skirts cut along the oblique, it is necessary to align it.
But before that, you need to let things hang for at least 24 hours. Then put on the thing with the shoes with which it is supposed to wear a dress or skirt. Mark the same length from the floor. And finally, trim the bottom edge of the product according to the markup and hem.
After washing the lower edge of the product may again “float”. To prevent this from happening, it is better to wash things cut along an oblique by hand using powder for hand washing (we traditionally recommend the well-established ones Ariel) Squeeze lightly, "lump". If you wash in a typewriter, then only in the delicate wash mode, in a special bag, such as for underwear and elastic tights, it is better to use a special liquid washing powder for delicate washing: Dreft. Dry unfolded on a flat surface, carefully aligning the hem of the product.
If the thing is not wide, with the usual drying it can just stretch in length. Therefore, we give it the desired shape and dry it also in a straightened form on a flat surface.
Ironing fabrics cut along the oblique has certain difficulties - the thing is unevenly stretched and loses its previous shape. therefore to iron only needed on a shared thread. Then the sagging and elongated places that were formed while wearing things will be corrected.

Expert Opinion
The moderator of our site, an engineer-technologist of sewing production, a teacher of sewing, Svetlana Khatskevich, gives our readers some more valuable recommendations on caring for products cut along a scythe:
For a cut along the oblique, it is better to take tissue with uniform weaving of threads.
Since the sections along the oblique are more stretched and showered, they need to be given a larger allowance - from 3 to 5 cm, depending on the degree of plasticity of the fabric.
So that the neck and armholes in the products along the oblique are not stretched, you need to lay directly in the details of the cut according to the allowances stabilizing stitches. In dense fabrics, you can glue the allowances with strips of non-woven formband.
Shoulders cut along the oblique are also better to strengthen either with lines or strips of non-woven fabric. You can put a thin cotton braid in the seam in dense fabrics. So the shoulder seams will be stable in the toe.
It is very difficult to sew zipper in a seam made of fabric along an oblique. She can lie in a wave. To prevent this from happening, it is better to reinforce the allowances with strips of non-woven fabric before attaching the zipper. When sewing seams, reduce the stitch length so that the stitch becomes more ductile.
Wash things cut out of fabric along an oblique, better by hand or in a typewriter - but only with a special detergent for delicate washing (I use Dreft Brightness and Silhouette) So you keep the shape of the thing for a long time.
