Then I trim the seam close to the stitching. If you are hand sewing stockings, I suggest first sewing a tiny running stitch followed by rolling and overcasting the seam allowance. Trim the seam allowance after the running stitch, then do the overcast. That should keep it from bursting. You want about 1/8 inch seam allowance.
