@futurebird @Anke @va2lam @bucknam the cheap and quick sewing machine way of doing this is going back and forth at the start and the finish. (If you want to do it properly, go slow and possibly use the hand turn instead of pedal. If you want to be me, use the pedal and watch it all go haywire...)
It's much easier to do this nicely while handsewing
