Hi, this is my first post so please be gentle.
I'm having a go at reupholstering some van seats for my Husband (never done it before). I'm sewing diamonds into the back and seat panel, which I'm lock stitching at the end of each run in the seam allowance. I then sew the panel into the sides which gives me a large lumpy seam that I want to trim back as close to the stitch line as possible. By cutting this back, I'm cutting through the lock stitches on the diamonds. Will this cause any problems with the stitches unravelling in the future? Only practicing at the moment on some waste material but it does effect other seams as well were I've sewn a french seam and then cut the lock stitch off.
