A narrow, closely spaced, zig-zag stitch is ideal for
seaming knit fabrics. It is particularly desirable
for underarm seams where elasticity and give are
needed. Stitch and press seams as when using a
straight stitch.
Where a stay is needed to prevent stretching, at neck
line and shoulder seams for example, this same fine
zig-zag stitch can be used to apply seam tape. For a
flat, smooth stayed finish:
1. If seam is curved, pre-shape tape to fit by steam
pressing.
2. Baste tape in place.
3. Stitch, allov/ing needle to enter seam tape and
seam allowance alternately.
