Blunting the corner is the best way to achieve a well-formed point on an enclosed seam in, for example, a collar, cuff, or lapel. Take one stitch diagonally across the corner of a fine fabric, two on a medium one, three on heavy or bulky fabric. 2, record 1, English, - blunt%20the%20corner

When cornered seams are enclosed, as in a collar, the corners should be blunted so that a better point results when the collar is turned. 2, record 1, English, - blunt%20the%20corner

D'après : Lorsque les coutures des angles sont intérieures - dans un col, par exemple - piquez un ou deux points en diagonale : la pointe sera parfaite quand vous rabattrez le col sur l'endroit. Sur les tissus légers, faites un seul point; sur tissus moyens, deux; trois sur les tissus plus épais. 2, record 1, French, - piquer%20un%20angle%20en%20diagonale

Pointe de col, coin de poignet, angle de revers; «angle» est le terme le plus universel. «Blunt» est ici interprété par rapport à la couture. On pourra parler de «finir un angle» ou de «finition d'un angle» lorsque, par la suite, on coupe l'excédent de tissu dans la pointe avant de rabattre le col, le poignet ou le revers. 1, record 1, French, - piquer%20un%20angle%20en%20diagonale
