"Hi, welcome to Expert Village, I'm Gretchen Soares with Butterfly Boutique. So now that we've got this all pressed all nice and neat, we're going to come to the machine and just seam down it with a nice straight stitch right along the edge of this crease. Kind of want to back stitch top and bottom so that it stays in place. If you have a needle down positioner on your sewing machine it's best to use that at this time because that way the needle stays down when you stop to adjust the fabric and things stay nice and in line. And again at the bottom we're going to back stitch. Nice seam on our first side. We're going to go to the second side and do the same exact thing. Now we're ready for the next step."
