The Stitch and Its Uses
Use this stitch when you want a
narrow seam that you do not need to
press open flat. It is ideal for 1/4"
seams on kmts or on medium to
heavyweight woven fabrics where you
want a narrow seam. It Js also great
for making elastic swim wear,
Here*s How
Place the fabric under the presser
foot so that the stitches are made
over the edge.
Or, place your fabrtc to allow a 5/8"
seam, then trim seam allowance
after.
NOTE: When using stretch knit
fabric, use a blue stretch
fabric needle which
effectively prevents
skipped stitches,
