A seamstress friend gave me a box of odds and ends -- one nice thing about making dolls is that people give you boxes of notions. In it was several rolls of cotton twill tape.
Twill tape is a reinforcement that is found in old doll clothes. I've seen it used to reinforce armholes in human-sized costumes.

I realized that if I sewed it on flat, the stitches would show through to the other side.
So I figured I needed to press the seam allowances together, (not apart as they are shown here) and then hand-stitch the tape to the seam allowances. Kind of just finishing the raw edges.
I am sure I will find other uses for twill tape.... If someone reading this knows about uses of twill tape for reinforcement, please share.
