Where is the pin positioned relative to the original stitching and hem?

• A. Between the original hem and the original stitching
• B. On the outside of the fabric
• C. Between the original stitching and the original hem
• D. At the fold line

Answer: (C)

The situation being tested is how to secure fabric when reworking a finished edge. The pin should be placed in the space between the original stitching line and the original hem so that the hem and the stitched edge are held together without pinning through the outer surface or through the fold. This position keeps both layers aligned while you adjust or re-stitch, and it avoids leaving visible marks on the outside or interfering with the fold line. In short, placing the pin between the original stitching and the original hem properly anchors the hem for finishing.
