The Stitch and Its Uses
L
J
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 fabrics where you
want a narrow seam. It is also great
for sewing spandex swim wear.
Here's How
Place the fabric under the presser
foot 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.

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 distri-
buted.
