How to sew in a busk?

Step 1: Preparation

• Determine the length of the busk based on the length of the front of the garment.
• Make sure the fabric is backed and reinforced in the installation area (e.g. with corset tape, tunnel).

Step 2: Marking

• Mark the position of the loops and hooks. Be sure to keep symmetry and precise spacing between the elements.

Step 3: Notches

• On the hook side, make small slits or holes for the fingers of the busk to fit through.
•  The loop side is simply sewn between the layers of fabric.

Step 4: Stitching

• Secure both panels between the layers of fabric. Use reinforced stitches and, if possible, hand stitch around the hooks for extra security.
