HONEYCOMB STITCH
The honeycomb stitch is ideal for smocking and it is useful for mending, overcast­
ing and attaching lingerie elastic, stretch lace and blanket binding. Use this ver­
satile stitch to create decorative designs on fabrics that stretch.

Uoining Elastic
We recommend the needle style 2046 when
sewing on regular elastic.
• Fit elastic for desired snugness at waistline,
allowing 2.5 cm {1 inch) for joining. Lap
ends to form a band and straight stitch
together as shown using a bail point needle.
• Divide elastic band into four equal segments
and mark with pins. Do the same to the
garment. Then pin together at correspond­
ing points, pinning elastic over right side of
fabric, top edges even.
• Sew a few straight stitches to anchor elastic
to fabric,
• Select honeycomb. Plain zig-zag, and multi­
stitch zig-zag are also effective for replacing
lingerie elastic.
• Then hold elastic and garment edge taut as
you stitch so that it will remain stretchable
after stitching is completed.
CAUTION: Do not pull the fabric while you are
stitching as this may deflect the needle, caus­
ing it to break.
