A delicate fringe may be added to tabie
scarves, linen placemats or napkins using the
dressweight tailor tack stitch on your
machine. To add this delightful decorative
touch, follow one of the procedures below,
sewing first on two layers of scrap fabric.
• When cutting fabric for placemats, be sure
to leave an extra 5/8-inch (1.5cm)
allowance around edges.
• Place the lengthwise edge of two layers of
fabric on the 5/8-inch (1.5cm) guideline of
the general purpose needle plate. Sew the
two layers of fabric together using the
dressweight tailor tack stitch. Pivot work on
needle at corners. Ease stitches off top of
foot when pivoting work at corners.
• Remove tailor tack foot and attach straight
stitch fittings. Set tension dial for straight
stitching.
• Fold fabric under so that tailor tack loops
extend beyond the edge of the fabric. Baste
along seam edge to hold fold in place.
• Sew a line of short straight stitching close to
the fringed edge.
Loops may be cut or left rounded depending
on desired effect.
