How to Sew a Seam
By Debbie Colgrove, About.com Guide
At the end of the seam, sew to the end of the fabric and sew in reverse for a few stitches.
Raise the presser foot and remove the fabric from the machine.
Trim your threads and remove the straight pins. Follow the pattern directions to press the seam open or press it to one side.
