The Stitch and Its Uses
Herds How
Place the tabric under the presser toot
so that the stitches are made over the
edge.
NOTE:
When using stretch knit
fabric, use a blue stretch
fabric needle which
effectively prevents skipped
stitches.
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
knits or on medium to heavyweight
woven labrics where you want a narrow
seam. It is also great for making
spandex swim wear.
