Pick the points out with a pin, if necessary. Roll the seams between yourfingers to work them out fully, then press.
Topstitch all the way around, 1/8 from the edges. Make sure that thestitching closes up the opening.
If you do not wish to topstitch, close the opening by hand stitching. Thestitching should fall within the knot, so it doesnt have to be perfect :) .
Tying the SashTying the SashTying the SashTying the SashLike all bows, this sash can be tied several different ways. The technique thatgives me the best results is described below (and in case you are wondering, my
very cooperative model is a 31 doll).
Cross the sash at the seams.
