BUILT-IN STITCHES – “N” NORMAL RANGE
ATTACHING FLAT ELASTIC
Place elastic and fabric under the presser foot.
Take a few stitches to anchor the elastic. Adjust the
width of the stitch to the width of the elastic.
Zigzag over the elastic, stretching the elastic in front of
the presser foot as you sew [Fig. 1].
SEAMING NYLON TRICOT
Use the double action stitch for quick and easy, one-step
seaming and finishing on tricot and other soft fabrics.
For 1/4” seam allowances, guide the fabric so the right
swing of the stitch forms just inside the edge of the fabric
[Fig. 2].
For 1/2” to 5/8” seam allowances, sew [Fig. 3], then trim
the excess fabric close to the stitching [Fig. 4].
ENCASING ELASTIC
Create casings for 1/8” narrow elastic in minutes for
waistbands, cuffs, and craft items.
Place the fabric wrong side up under the presser foot.
Lay the elastic on top of the fabric, under the center of
the presser foot, and past the end of the fabric. Leave a
1/2” tail of elastic behind the foot. Begin sewing being
careful not to stitch the elastic [Fig. 5]. When sewing is
complete, pull the ends of the elastic until the desired
amount of fullness is obtained [Fig. 6]. Secure the ends
of the elastic with a straight stitch before sewing them
into a seam.
