I'm trying to translate instructions from _The Cut of Men's Clothes_ for
the assembly of an 18th century coat. (page 88 of the recent hardcover
edition)
"The backs are joined together by backstitching on the wrong side and
then
fine-drawing on the right, working from the skirt opening upwards."
The only definitions to fine-drawing that I can find are these:
To repair a garment by invisible mending
Fine-draw: To sew or close up, as a rent or seam, so delicately that joining
cannot be noticed.
... to mend (torn edges) by drawing together with invisible stitches.
