DECORATIVE DESIGNS

20 different types of decorative stitches are available.

Following are examples of how to use and sew these stitches.

You can use other stitches in the same way.

* You should carry out a test sewing on an extra piece of the

fabric to be sewn to check the pattern to be used.

* Before starting to sew, check that there is enough thread

wound onto the bobbin so that the thread will not run out

during sewing.

* Slightly loosen top thread tension.

IDEAS FOR DESIGN STITCHING

Crescent pattern on collar
This is an ideal decorative stitch for the sleeves and collars of

ladies’ and children’s clothes, and also for sewing edges.
When using this stitch pattern for sewing edges, first sew the

stitch and then trim the edge of the fabric along the edge of

the stitch. Be careful not to cut the stitch at this time.

Semicircle on bias tape
Use bias tape and fold back the edge. Sew the semicircle

pattern on top of this.

Arrowhead on lapel
In addition to using this pattern as a decorative stitch, it can

also be used as a triangular backtack stitch for reinforcing

places which can easily unravel. This is particularly useful for

sewing both edges of pockets.

Sunrise on narrow hem
Fold over the edge of the fabric and use this stitch to embellish

the edge.

Pyramid on bias tape
Use bias tape and fold back the edge. Sew the pyramid

pattern on top of this.

Domino on bias tape
Use bias tape and fold back the edge. Sew the domino stitch

on top of this.

Diamond on narrow hem
Fold over the edge of the fabric and use this stitch to tidy up

the edge.
Scallop stitches and diamond stitches can be combined to

create other attractive patterns.
