@lorenzathelabel: Sewing debate incoming… 🔥 Do you trim and clip your seam allowances BEFORE understitching… or AFTER? Because apparently this is one of those techniques that people feel very strongly about. 😂 Some sewists say you should grade, trim and clip first so the seam is less bulky and the understitching helps everything roll beautifully to the inside. Others say absolutely not. Understitch first while the seam allowance is still full so the stitching is more stable and accurate… then trim and clip. Same technique. Completely opposite order. Both sides convinced they’re right. 😅 So let’s hear it… 👇 BEFORE or AFTER? . ✂️ All my sewing content here is free.
