How to Understitch a Facing or a Lining

In today's video I'm going to be showing you how to understitch. Understitching is a technique that is most often used when sewing woven fabric garments but occasionally with knit fabrics as well. It's mostly used when you are sewing a facing, a lining or an in-seam pocket. The purpose of understitching is to keep those parts of the garments hidden and out of view. 

It's actually very simple to sew an understitch. All you do is sew a straight stitch  to attach the seam allowance to the facing (or lining or pocket). Because this is such a simple technique, I think people are often tempted to skip it altogether. But, I really recommend that you do not skip the understitching because it will help you make a more refined, dare I say, professional looking garment.
