- Position the ribbing correctly : Place it right sides together with your main fabric, aligning the edges and making sure to distribute the stretch well to avoid creases.
- Use the right stitch : Choose a zigzag stitch or a stretch stitch to maintain the elasticity of the fabric after sewing.
- Perfect Finish : Overlock the edge with an overlocker or use a reinforced straight stitch to prevent fraying. For necklines or waistbands, smooth bias binding can also provide a clean, professional finish.
