LETTUCE
EDGING
Lettuce edges take advantage of the fabric's stretchi-
hess. To get the frilly effect, you stretch the fabric
while stitching the garment edge. The more the fabric
is stretched, the smaller and more numerous the r_p-
pies, in this process, some fabrics tend to develop
runs, so test a swatch first. Machine settings are the
same as above except:
