    How to Flat Line/ Inner Line Garments

    Step 1
    Cut out the lining fabric and mark the stitch line on the right side of the
    fabric.
    Before cutting and pinning make sure to press all of your fabric. You
    want it to be as flat as possible so the fabrics are flush when you lay
    then out.
    Also trace out any lines for darts and pleats

    Step 2
    Lay the lining on top of the fashion fabric (wrong sides together, stitch
    marks facing up) and pin. Start in the middle and pin outward. Make sure
    that you are keeping the fabric flat on the table and not picking it up when
    you push in the pins.

    Step 3
    Using a tailors tack or other basting stitch baste the two pieces together (Do
    not knot thread. These stitches will be pulled out when the garment is
    complete). The thoroughness of the basting is up to your own discretion.
    Remove the pins when finished.
    If you have a large enough table all the pieces can be laid, pin,
    basted, and sewn at once. If not you cannot then bubble cut around
    the piece. Do not yet cut the piece on the cut line. Make sure to
    store all pieces as flat as possible until the seams are sewn.

    Basting Stitches:
    B- Long
    C- long and short
    D- Tack

    Note
    Wrong way to work with and/or store the piece. It may not seem like a big
    deal but by not sewing and storing the pieces flat can cause unnecessary
    stretching or puckering and can results in bubbled fabric in your finished
    piece.

    Step 4
    When all of your pieces are basted together it is time to start sewing. This
    can be done by hand or by machine. If you are using a machine (stitch
    length 3.5 or 4) make sure you put on the table to make sure the pieces go
    through as flat as possible. If you are hand sewing make sure you are sewing
    on a table not in your lap. When you are stitching on a curve or on the bias
    you will sew on the stitch line. When you are stitching on a straight line sew
    1/8 into the seam allowance. Start at the edge of the lining piece and run
    off of the piece with each stitch line. Do not turn corners. No knots.
    Machine with table attachment
    Also stitch the stitch line of any dart of pleats
