Q: Thread your needle with matching, lightweight thread, and sew straight across your hem roughly 1/4 inch (6 mm) away from the raw edge. After sewing this line, trim the edge so that there is only 1/8 inch (3 mm) between the thread line and the raw edge. This stitch will end up being on the bottom of your hem. It should help you maintain an even, consistent roll. Fold the raw edge toward the wrong side of the fabric and press in place using an iron. While not entirely necessary, pressing the fold in place will make the hem less likely to unroll as you stitch. Fold the fabric so that the bend falls just past your initial row of stitching. You should see your initial stitching along the underside of the fabric but not from the front. Pick up one thread from the fabric and a small stitch from the edge of your fold. Pull the needle through, but do not pull it taut just yet. Use a small, sharp needle for best results. Doing so will make it easier to pick up single threads along your hem. The stitch made into your fold should be as close to the actual fold as possible. Position it in between your initial line of stitching and the fold itself. The threads you pick up from the front of the actual fabric should be directly above the stitch made into your fold. These threads should also be right above the raw edge. Make sure that you only pick up one or two threads from the fabric. Picking up more will cause the hem to be more visible from the front of the fabric. Each stitch should only pick up one or two threads from the fabric, and the stitches should be spaced roughly 1/4 inch (6 mm) apart. Repeat this until you have 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm) of hem stitching. Lightly pull on the thread in the direction of your stitching. The raw edge should roll itself down into your hem, disappearing from sight. Use firm pressure, but do not pull tightly. Pulling too tightly can cause the fabric to bunch up. Smooth out any bubbles or bumps with your fingers. Continue stitching along the rest of the hem in the same manner until you reach the end. Knot off the end and cut off any excess thread. As you get better at the process, you can pull the thread after 4 to 5 inches (10 to 13 cm) of stitching rather than every 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm). If completed correctly, the raw edge should be hidden along the wrong side of the fabric and the hem stitching should be barely visible from the front. The hem may already be smooth enough, but if desired, use an iron to press it further. This step completes the process.
A: Sew straight across the raw edge. Fold in the raw edge. Pick up a few threads with your sewing needle. Make a few more stitches in the same manner. Pull the thread through. Repeat along the length of the hem. Iron press when finished.

Q: To breed your female dog with a male dog, you will need to find her a suitable mate. Look for a male dog of the same breed who is healthy and has no genetic faults or issues. You should meet with the male dog's owner beforehand or with the breeder and discuss the dog's health and medical history. You should also confirm the male dog's age. Most breeds should mate when they are between one year to seven years old. Make sure you talk with your vet before you mate your female dog with a male dog. Your vet should clear your dog of any health issues or problems before you start the breeding process. Often, male dogs do better when they mate with a female dog on their territory or home area. You may discuss bringing your female dog to the male dog at the ideal breeding time with the male dog's owner. Set a mating date based on your female dog's heat cycle so the mating occurs when she is most fertile. Do not mate your dog on her first heat cycle. Wait until she has had one to two heat cycles to mate her. This will ensure she is healthy enough for mating. You may also arrange for two matings between the dogs, twenty-four or forty-eight hours apart. This can help to increase the likelihood of your dog getting pregnant. Once the breeding date is set, you should bring the female dog to the male dog in a stress-free environment. The male dog's owner should set up a space that is clean and open for the breeding. If the female dog is in the right stage of her heat cycle, she should warm up to the male dog pretty quickly. She will show signs of attraction, and if the male dog follows suit, the breeding should occur rather naturally. If the mating is not successful, you may ask the male dog's owner about next steps. Professional breeders may offer a free service or mating session next time to make up for the failed breeding.
A:
Locate a suitable male dog for breeding. Bring the female dog to the male dog at the right time. Create a stress-free environment for the breeding.
