Let me ask again.... What the HECK are Notches? Do you know?
Sewing is the oldest and most common textile art for creating clothes and sewing is a method of fastening or attaching together two pieces of fabric along their edges. Sewing notches are typically made in the seam allowance, which is the area between the two sewn lines.
The notches are a way to make sure that the fabric will line up properly.
A notch is a small cut or hole in one edge of a sewing pattern, which is used as a guide for laying out pattern pieces on fabric. Notches are usually found on the pattern pieces for sleeves, trouser legs, and skirt hems.
Notches can be used to mark where to match up seams in areas such as shoulder seams, necklines, armholes and waistlines when they need to be matched up on both sides. They can also be used when attaching sleeves to bodice fronts, when joining neckbands to garment fronts or hems so that they line up correctly with other parts of the garment.
Sewing is the process of joining two pieces of fabric together with thread or yarn. The stitches are called “notches”, “notches in sewing”, or “sewing notches”.
There are different ways to make a notch in sewing. One way is to line up the two pieces of fabric along one edge, then hold them tightly together while making a small cut into both pieces at the same time. This method works best when you are trying to match up wovens fabrics with patterns that are continuous across both widths of fabric.
An easy way to mark this type of notch is with a safety pin or tailor's chalk.
If you want to make sure that your seams match up nicely, you should consider using notches when sewing. You can use them on sleeves, trouser legs or skirt hems if possible by cutting small notches into one edge of the fabric.
Match up all the notches and mark the line to help sew a perfect garment.
The first step is to understand where all the notches are on your fabric.

With a notch in a seam, you can sew two pieces of fabric together so that they match up.
In sewing, you have to line up the fabric with the markings or notches on the machine. The most common type of notch is called a “T” notch. It is made by placing your finger under the material and drawing it over to one side. You then use the needle to poke through both layers of fabric at an angle that matches your initial fold.
Be sure to use notches when you are sewing to ensure your seams are accurate and your project turns out perfect!
