1, Preparation: Before you start lockstitching, you need to prepare the required tools and materials, including sewing machine, needle and thread, scissors, ruler and so on. At the same time, you need to make sure that the length and shape of the edges of the garment pieces meet the requirements, and fold and organize them for sewing.

2. Start sewing: Align the edges of the garment piece and start sewing with a needle and thread. On the first stitch, go through the surface and lining fabrics, then pull the thread on the reverse side. Next, pass each stitch through both the table cloth and the lining, and pull the thread on the reverse side. This ensures that the stitching is secure and that no excess thread is left behind.

3. Corner treatment and inspection: When sewing to the corner, you need to pick up the needle slightly on the surface of the fabric and turn the fabric to the right. This will ensure that no empty gaps are left at the corners. After finishing the stitching, check all the threads once, if there are any threads that are too long or uneven, you can trim them to make sure the lockstitch effect is neat and beautiful.

Precautions for lockstitching:

1. Choose the right needle and thread and thread size: Choose the right needle and thread size according to the material and thickness of the garment. Generally speaking, thicker needles and thicker threads are suitable for thicker fabrics, and thinner needles and thinner threads are suitable for lighter fabrics. If you choose the wrong needle and thread, it may result in an untidy or easily damaged sewing line.

2. Determine the width of the locking edge: Use a ruler to measure and determine the width of the locking edge as needed. Generally speaking, the width of the locking edge is 2-3 centimeters, but the exact width depends on personal preference and clothing style. If the width of the locking edge is too wide, it may look too bulky; if the width of the locking edge is too narrow, it may not look beautiful enough. It is important to choose the right width according to the actual situation.

3, ironing the lock edge: after finishing the lock edge, you can use the iron to iron the lock edge to make the line more neat and beautiful. Be careful not to use too high a temperature, so as not to damage the clothing material. When ironing the hems, pay attention to the distance to avoid direct contact between the iron and the clothes and lead to damage.
