DECORATIVE RIBBON ATTACHING
This stitch is ideal for decorative topstitching. Use alone
or topstitch over ribbon or cording. Use a variegated
thread for extra pizzazz.
Place the ribbon along the stitching line [Fig. 1].
When stitching over ribbon, it’s easiest to secure the
ribbon in place with fabric adhesive. Select a stitch
width to match the ribbon width and sew.
MOCK SMOCKING
Recreate elegant smocking in a fraction of the time it
takes to hand smock.
Sew sev
eral rows of basting stitches on the fabric. Pull
the bobbin thread to gather fabric to the desired fullness.
Select the honeycomb stitc
h L.
Sew between the basting stitches [Fig. 2]. Remove the
basting stitches when complete.
ATTACHING RIB KNIT TRIM
The overlock stitch is ideal for sewing knits and attaching
rib trim because it seams and overcasts at the same time.
For 1/4” seam allowances, guide the matched edges of
the seam allowances along the right edge of the
foot [Fig. 3].
For 1/2” to 5/8” seam allowances, guide the matched
edges of the seam allowances along the seam guide
marking on the needle plate [Fig. 4].
Sew, then trim the excess fabric close to the stitching
[Fig. 5].
