The Stitch and Its Uses
This stitch pattern, a variation of the straight
stitch, is a narrow stretch stitch designed to
eliminate puckering on knit fabrics and bias
seams.
On tricot and filmy chiffons, _t can be used
to seam and overcast at the same time to
produce a narrow, almost inwsible seam or
seam finish,
Here's How:
1. Place your fabric edge on the 5f8" seam line in order to produce a 5!8" seam.
2. Sew as you would a straight stitch.
Helpful Hints (for lightweight fabrics)
1, Set the pressure adjusting lever at "1 '" or "2"
2. To seam and overcast tricot:
a. Set thestitch width at '3"
Sew with the right hand stitch falling off the fabric edge.
