To get a better understanding on the stitches used in tailoring and so I can improve them in the future I have done some research in to the stitches.From reading the three different felling stitches, I determined that I was sewing the third way. To get more of an angle I will need to change the position of the needle, though I will try the other two ways in the future to see if this makes any difference.
The cross stitch instructions is useful and I will try to achieve an more even stitch in the future.
