How to Top Stitch a Baby Burping Cloth

Video Transcript

"Hi, I am Karina Fraley for Expert Village and I am showing you how to finish your burping cloth. So basically we have everything already stitched together and we just have this little edge. We don't just want to sew the top because then you will have a nice clean seam around with no stitching, no visible stitching and then just this edge that has a visible stitching. So what we are going to do is we are going to camouflage it by sewing it all the way around. So go ahead and you can actually start at the top and you are basically just going to do a regular straight stitch all the way around. Now remember to do a back stitch to keep your stitching in place and just a straight stitch. Now be sure that when you get closer to the edge that you are wanting to tuck in, make sure that everything is tucked in so that when you sew it it's actually properly closed off. Sometimes if you loose track, you might get some thread sticking out, you don't want that."
