2.   Place the right sides of the fabric pieces together.

3.   Sew a stitch line with chosen seam allowance amount down the length of the fabric pieces.

4.   Press the seam with a steam iron to ‘set the stitches’.

5.   Press the seam ‘open’ – one seam allowance to one side, and one seam allowance to the other!
