I hadn't thought of the backstitch trick - not going forwards, then backwards, then forwards - just going backwards first instead. I always get nervous backstitching at the start - so I end up doing it too quickly and hoping for the best that it doesn't distort my sewing line. I will definitely do it your way from now on. Great tip!
When I was in Home-Econ. in the mid-60's, we were taught to leave the pins in when we were sewing our garments. My mother always used pinking shears...
This would be so easy sewing it by hand considering there's no machine to pull the fabric out of place. I have to say, my eyes went wide when i saw the seam allowance. What is that, 3/4 inch? my standard allowance is 1/4 inch with the raw edges overcast to prevent fraying. largest allowance was 1/2 inch and that's if I do double or triple stitching in high stress arias. I do know a lot more after watching this. There were things I didn't realize.
Hi Waire. Keeping your seam straight is like driving a car, or walking on a sidewalk. When you walk you look ahead at where you want to go. You don't look at your feet (or you will trip.) When you drive you don't look at the bumper of your car, or you will miss what is in front of the car! Ie; a person, a traffic light, or a turn. When you sew, don't look at the needle, you look 1 to 3 inches before the needle. You are looking at where you are going to sew, straightening the material so it will follow the sewing machine's Guild Lines! I hope this helps?
So glad I found this tutorial!

What pinking shears are you using?
If you mean the brand I think I read "Fiskars" when she was cutting
