Hello again,

I'm pretty new to this forum, so please let me know if my post is weird or offensive or annoying or... yeah.

I'm hoping someone can help me if I narrow down my questions a little.

Question 1:
In the document I was trying to translate (link in the original post), I saw the following:

ひも通し

Can someone let me know what this means? I think it means something like a "string through-hole", but I'm not sure.

Question 2:
In the following text, I can't tell what the word MACHI (マチ) means.

マチを作る。
[Make a "MACHI".]
縫目をひらき三角のマチを作る。
[Open/widen the seam/stitch and make a triangular "MACHI".]
マチを縫い裏返すと 6図 になる。
[Once you sew a "MACHI" and turn it inside out, it'll become figure 6.]

Does anyone know what it means?

Thanks again for any help. Or, you can just say hello... Nandemo OK desu. Yoroshiku onegaishimasu.

Arisa ^_^
