Ease stitching

Ease stitching is generally done on larger area that needs to be fitted into smaller areas. Ex: A larger sleeve cap may require ease stitching to ease into a smaller armscye. Large neck can be shortened by making ease stitches to form small gathers to shorten the neckline size.

A normal machine stitch with loose upper tension or a slightly longer stitch is used for ease stitching. Ease stitching must be done on sleeve cap between notches on girls and ladies garments. This will help adjust the sleeve cap to fit the armhole while attaching the sleeves.
