  • Placket Construction Options
    Placket Construction Options 1 Type1: Two Separate Bound Edges on a rectangular stitching box The key to this structure is that the bindings are initially stitched only to the seam allowances on each side, and NOT stitched across the end, of the clipped box, which means that they, and the clipped triangle at the bottom, remain loose and can be arranged before the nal nishing to go on either side of the fabric, as well as either over or under the other, after joining them at the sides. The widths and lengths of the bindings and the space between the sides of the clipped box determine all the other options available in this most exible of all the placket types I know of. Variation 1: Both bindings t inside the stitching box If you cut the bindings so the nished, folded widths of both are equal to or smaller than the space between the initial stitching lines, as shown above, you can arrange both ends at the clipped corners to all go on one side of the fabric (right or wrong side), along with the clipped triangle on the garment. You’ll get the best results if the underlapping binding is slightly smaller than the overlapping one. This can be man- aged by taking slightly deeper seam allowances when you join this piece, so they can initially be cut from the same strip. Or, you can place one end on each side with the Both ends on RS One end on RS, Both ends on WS triangle sandwiched in between.

  • Bound Plackets
    CT-MMB.218 Bound Plackets Plackets are used to finish garment openings and allow dressing ease. They are used at necklines with neckbands, sleeves with cuffs, and at waistlines with waistbands. Plackets may also be used as design elements at pant and skirt hems. Continuous Lap Placket The continuous lap placket can be used on sleeves, at the back of a neckline, or below a back button opening especially on children’s wear. The placket binding may be cut on the straight grain or bias from the same fabric as the garment being made. It should be cut 1 ¼ inches wide and be one inch longer than twice the length of the placket opening. Press ¼ inch under along one long edge of the binding. Prepare the placket opening by transferring the pattern marking to the garment. Following the marking; stitch with small machine stitches (15 stitches per inch)to reinforce the opening. Taking one or two stitches across the point of the marking will make cutting the opening easier. Cut the opening between the stitched lines all the way to the point being careful not to clip the reinforcement stitches. (Figure 1) Spread the cut area open and place the right side of the placket binding to the wrong side of the garment. Pin the reinforcement stitching ¼ inch from the edge of the binding. Sew ¼ inch seam just outside of the reinforcement stitching. (Figure 2) Bring folded edge of binding to front covering the previous stitching and sew close to the fold. (Figure 3) Fold placket into place, lapping binding evenly by folding binding under on the overlap.
