STRAIGHT STRETCH STITCH
Straight stretch stitch is far stronger than an ordinary straight
stitch because it locks three times - forwards, backwards and
forwards.
It is particularly suitable for reinforcing the seams of sportswear
in stretch and non-stretch fabrics, and for curved seams which
take a lot of strain.
Use this stitch also to top-stitch lapels, collars and cuffs to give
a professional finish to your garments.
OVEREDGE STITCH
This is the same type stitch used by the garment industry in
making sportswear
-
it forms and finishes the seam in one
operation.
It’s very effective for use in repairing raw or worn edges of older
garments.
FEATHER STITCH
The pleasing appearance of this stitch enables it to be used for
top stitching, or attaching lace or inset panels when making
lingerie or girdles.
It is also ideal for quilting applications and faggoting.
RIC-RAC STITCH
Ric-rac is primarily used for a decorative top-stitch. It is ideal for
edging neck-bands, armholes, sleeves and hems. When
manually adjusted to a very narrow width it also can be used for
seaming in areas of great stress.
