Overcast Stretch Stitch
* Choose this stitch to seam and finish the
raw edge at the same time. Choose this
stitch to repair raw or worn edges of older
garments.
I. To seam and overcast at the same time,
you must have the raw edges of your
fabric to the right of your needle.
NOTE: To achieve this same effect, the
serging stretch or overlock stretch
stitch can be used with the raw edges
on the left side of the needle.
Serging or Pine Leaf Stretch Stitch
* Choose this stitch to produce a narrow,
supple seam, particularly suited to swim-
wear, sportswear, T-shirts, babywear in
stretch fabrics and to seam or alter knitted
clothes.
Elastic Stretch Stitch
* Choose this stitch to attach elastic to
garments.
1. Mark the elastic into quarters and match
these to the center front, center back and
side seams.
2. Place the middle of the elastic under the
center of the presser foot and stitch into
place, making sure the elastic is evenly
distributed.
