Cutting back seam allowances in stages

Especially if the fabrics used are thick, this also makes poor in the seam allowance, because this is after the side-ironing like sometimes very thick and wears on what you can see from the right side of the fabric.

In such a case, I first stitch the seam, iron both seam allowances to the side I want, and then cut the seam allowance, which lies further inward (!) From the right side, by x millimeters. It is said that the seam allowance is cut back "in stages", d. H. The widths of the seam allowances form a "step", so to speak. The wide seam allowance conceals the narrower one, which then can not press through to the right side of the fabric. I do this step-back cutting over the fingers, because then you better get under the seam allowances with the scissors.
