DECORATIVE DESIGNS
14 different types of decorative stitches are available.
Following are examples of how to use and sew these stitches.
You can use other stitches in the same way.
* You should carry out a test sewing on a cut-off strip of the
fabric being sewn to check the pattern to be used.
* Before starting to sew, check that there is enough thread
wound onto the bobbin to make sure that the thread will not
run out during sewing.
* Slightly loosen top thread tension.

TIPS ON DESIGN STITCHING
Scallop pattern on collar
This is an ideal decorative stitch for the sleeves and collars of
ladies’ and children’s clothes, and also for tidying up edges.
When using this stitch pattern for tidying up edges, first sew the
stitch and then trim the edge of the fabric along the edge of the
stitch. Be careful not to cut the stitch at this time.
Domino on bias tape
Use bias tape and fold back the edge. Sew the domino stitch on
top of this.
Arrowhead on lapel
In addition to using this pattern as a decorative stitch, it can also
be used as a triangular backtack stitch for reinforcing places
which can easily unravel. This is particularly useful for sewing
both edges of pockets.
Diamond on narrow hem
Fold over the edge of the fabric and use this stitch to tidy up the
edge.
Scallop stitches and diamond stitches can be combined to create
other attractive patterns.
NOVELTY PATTERNS
These can be used for sewing single pattern and continuous
patterns.
