If you can't find them, fold your strap in half to find the midpoint. Mark the midpoint of the back and pin those 2 points together -strap to the back. Then pin along the bodice working toward the front.

So when the wide part is folded over and stitched (cover stitched in my case), the edge of that wider part will miss getting caught in the stitching. I did pin like crazy, so I don't think that was the problem. It's just my misunderstanding of what exactly gets pinned or basted before it gets stitched. I plan to use this pattern for my granddaughter also so I will have to keep working on it. BTW, I love your suits and they are so flattering on you!smwknitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08786206284063040261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-878659687089328861.post-66583951462760959802016-07-21T13:55:29.304-04:002016-07-21T13:55:29.304-04:00That is weird.

I'd use more pins and if necessary hand baste everything before you do the final stitching.Meiganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14369299181385050668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-878659687089328861.post-57763479892786764292016-07-21T09:33:34.121-04:002016-07-21T09:33:34.121-04:00Meigan, you're a genius!

But I'm wondering if anyone else has this problem: with the second edge (shown in photos three and four) not being caught in the final stitching the inside of my strap is bunching up. It's kind of a lumpy mess! Any ideas on how to remedy this? I realize that this comment probably won't be seen more than two years later!<br /><br />smwknitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08786206284063040261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-878659687089328861.post-89949278752625138422016-04-17T10:58:45.618-04:002016-04-17T10:58:45.618-04:00Thank you so much; your pictures were so helpful f...Thank you so much; your pictures were so helpful for me!
