SCARF:
Match the notches and stitch the two short ends together. If you’re using a felted fabric such as melton or boiled wool, press the seam open and sew an edge stitch along both sides of the seam. Neatly trim away the excess seam allowance. For woven fabrics that fray we suggest using a French seam or alternative seaming method appropriate for your fabric.
Finish the cut edges with a method that is appropriate for your fabric, such as a blanket stitch (for felted types of fabric), narrow double turn (for woven fabrics that fray) or your preferred method.
