An
unusual
way
of
hemming
or
finishing
edges
of
tricot
or
soft
knits
is
by
a
flutter
edge.
Hemm
ing
in
this
manner
is
just
like
overcasting
an
edge,
but
the
fabric
is
stretched
in
back
and
in
front
of
the
needle
as
you
sew.
For
best
results,
pull
the
fabric
equally,
making
sure
the
needle
goes
over
the
edge.
When
you
stop
to
reposition
your
hands,
keep
the
needle
in
the
fabric.

ELASTIC
APPLICATION
I
I
Applying
elastic
to
lingerie
or
soft
knit
fabrics
is
easy
when
using
the
multiple
stitch
zigzag.
Cut
the
elastic
2
inches
smaller
than
your
waist
measurement.
Overlap
the
raw
ends
to
form
a
circle
and
stitch
with
a
tiny
zigzag
to
form
a
box
as
shown.
Fold
the
elastic
into
quarters
or
eighths
and
mark
with
pins.
Do
the
same
with
the
waist
line
of
the
garment.
Place
the
elastic
about
1/2
inch
from
the
top
edge
of
the
fabric,
matching
the
pins.
Place
under
the
presser
foot
and
begin
stitching.
As
you
stitch,
place
the
forefinger
of
each
hand
on
the
fabric
at
either
side
of
the
presser
foot.
Pull
the
fabric
out
exactly
at
the
point
where
the
needle
is
sewing
over
the
elastic
and
the
fabric.
This
will
ease
your
fabric
and
elastic
together
as
you
sew.
The
amount
of
ease
is
dependent
on
how
much
you
ease
the
fabric.
In
this
way
you
never
need
to
stretch
the
elastic,
which
can
be
damaged
and
stretched
out
of
shape.
Trim
off
excess
fabric
above
elastic
near
the
stitches.
Note:
Tr,i
Smocking
stitch
for
gird/es.
