Why Pinked Edges?
-
The pinked edges help with lining up squares for accurate sewing.
- The pinked edges are a few mms deep and so don't affect seam allowances, just line up the fabrics on your sewing machine using the points of the zig zag and as long as your using a seam allowance of at least 6mm (1/4") the pinked parts of the fabric will be hidden in the seam allowance - there is no impact on the finished square size (measured when the squares are sewn together).
- Pinking reduces bulk in the seams.
- Pinking stops the fabric unravelling along the edges.
