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.

* Always practice on a scrap of the actual fabric from your

project.

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

wound onto the bobbin to make sure that the thread will not

run out during sewing.

* Slightly loosen top thread tension.

IDEAS ON 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 table linen edges.

When using this stitch pattern for table linen 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.

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

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..

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.
