Step 8Now, back to boning.
24. Trim bottom. With grommets in and channels stitched, it's time to do a last minute symmetry evaluation. Funny things tend to happen when you work with a moderately malleable medium (say that three times fast!) so you'll want to make any final adjustments before we stuff it with steel and close off the boning channels. To do this, fold the corset in half and trim the bottom up so that the corset is symmetrical.
25. Insert boning.
26. Iron bias tape. Set aside your boned corset for a sec and iron one side of your bias tape open.
27. Stitch bias tape to bottom of corset. VERY carefully and VERY slowly stitch the flat side of the bias tape along the raw edge of the corset bottom. You'll have to take care not to stitch on top of a piece of boning or you will not only break your needle but may damage your machine, too. Use your fingers to pinch the boning towards the top of the corset as you stitch.
