BUILT-IN STITCHES – “S” STRETCH RANGE
OVERCASTING HEAVY FABRICS
Sew on heavier weight stretch fabrics in any area you
would use a zigzag stitch.
Position the fabric under the presser foot and guide the
fabric so the right swing of the stitch forms just inside
the edge of the fabric [Fig. 1].
Test the position by turning the handwheel toward you and
manually “walking” the needle before you begin sewing.
DECORATIVE RICK RACK
An ideal decorative edge finish for neckbands, armholes,
sleeves, and hems.
Stitch along the finished edge of a project using a con-
trasting thread for added dimension [Fig. 2].
DECORATIVE FLAT FELL SEAMS
Use to creatively topstitch flat fell seams in knits and wovens.
First, straight stitch a seam and press seam allowances to
one side [Fig. 3]. Select the stretch stitch B. Position the
fabric right side up under the presser foot, with the
pressed seam allowance to the left. Sew through all
three layers [Fig. 4].
