The new triangle thus formed is the gusset proper, whilethe remainder will serve for the lining or stay. (4) Turn each point of the. base into another equilateral triangle, which will make the piece hexagonalin shape. Cut off the unnecessary material in this new turn so it will leave 78 A SEWING COURSE only a small fold. (Figs. 27 and 28.) (5) Place the apex of the triangle(with the folds turned to the wrong side of the garment) at the end of theseam or of the cut needing strengthening. Overhand it on both sides fromthe apex to the crease made when it was folded into the second triangle.(Fig. 28.) (6) After the triangle is overhanded, turn the remaining part ofthe gusset to the wrong side of the garment, baste it carefully, placing thelengthwise crease at the center of the seam or the cut, and laying the side foldsof the gusset so they will extend along warp and woof threads. The liningmust lie perfectly flat. Hem it down carefully. (Fig. 29.) (7) Put a lineof stitching on the right side of the garment across the bottom of the gussetwhere it folds back. This will keep it flat and improve the appearance. Practice.â
