    • An overlock stitch is a sewing technique where the edges of one or more pieces of fabric are sewn together. Watch a short video to learn how to sew the overlock stitch by hand.

    • Make sure to sew through only the patch fabric and the bra's inner fabric layer. The thread should not show at the front of the bra!

    • In the last stitch, leave a loop of tread and pull the needle through the loop.

    • Finish by tying a knot in the end of the tread.

    • Cut the excess thread close to the fabric.

    • Do not cut the thread too close to the knot. This will make the stitches unravel.
