How to fix errors

If the side curtain straight, you will not be checked for the presence of the fabric straight. But even if the warp in the fabric was not extremely important when cutting using a ruler and observe angles.

Cross ribbons pulled from the fact that you do not pin the iron or processed before sewing. Always do it in advance, as the band is made of synthetic materials and further processing of iron inevitably sets.

Ribbed sides arise if the material is stretched under the braid. In such cases, rip and do all the work again.
