Various Stitch Patterns for Seaming
Choosing from the variety of straight stitch patterns
can help you find the best position for the needle when
seaming. The locking stitch patterns provide accuracy in
locking stitches and make seams more attractive.
Straight stitch 02
This stitch pattern starts the needle in a far left needle
position.
A far left needle position can be used to insert a zipper,
increase seam width and aide in positioning accurate
topstitching.
Straight stitch pattern 03
Use this stitch to secure the beginning and the end of a
seam with backstitching.
When you reach the end of the seam, press the reverse
button once.
The machine will sew four reverse stitches, four forward
stitches, and then stop sewing automatically.
Locking stitch pattern 04
This unique stitch is used where an invisible locking stitch
is needed.
Lower the needle into the beginning of the fabric. Start at
least 1/8” to 1/4” into the fabric to assure even feeding of
the fabric.
The machine will sew several locking stitches in place and
continue sewing forward.
When you press the reverse button once at the end of
the seam, the machine will sew several locking stitches in
place. After the locking stitches the machine will stop.
Triple straight stretch stitch pattern 05
This strong, durable stitch is recommended for areas where
both elasticity and strength are needed to ensure comfort
and durability.
Use it to reinforce areas such as crotch and armhole
seams.
No reverse or locking stitch is needed at the beginning or
end of a seam sewn with this stretch stitch.
Stretch stitch for seaming 06
This is a narrow stretch stitch designed to seam stretch
fabrics or bias seams. The durability of the stitch keeps the
seams from puckering or breaking when stretched. The
seam can be pressed open and flat.
