Question:
How do I sew a smooth dart?
Darts
Sew the dart from large end to small pointed end. Take the first couple of stitches in place to secure the end. Slowly stitch the dart, gently tapering to the edge, until you are about ½ inch from the edge. Decrease stitch length and ease over until you run off the end. Sew off the edge to prevent bubbles.
