Our advice

• On small pieces of layette, reduce the stitch length to about 2 mm: the angles and curves are better held.
• On a blue gingham, wedge the thread to the color of the dark check so as not to see the seam.
• Finish each seam with a few back stitches rather than a knot, which is neater on a thin piece.
• Use the same shade in a can when the reverse side is visible, such as on an unlined bib.

Accompany it with a white or ecru bias and press studs for layette finishes.
