fixing stitches
Hai ragione: la saldina sono dei piccoli punti che fissano la cucitura all'inizio e alla fine. In questo caso la usano per fissare la fodera al giromanica. Quindi direi "fixing stitches for lining under the armhole".

sizing
Saldina è il diminutivo di Salda: soluzione acquosa di amido utilizzata per dare rigidità ai tessuti o alla biancheria stirata.
Note from asker:
| Thanks, but I think in this case though, it is more likely to be some sort of stitching. Here's another example from the same text: "il filo deve essere fissato con una **saldina** verticale sull’inizio e la fine della cucitura". |
