Stitching Seam
Procedure
Make a test sample before beginning garment
construction to test machine settings. (See
page 23 for adjusting stitch balance.) Be sure
to duplicate the cut of the garment seam in
your test, and use a bail-point Yellow Band
needle if you are sewing a synthetic knit
fabric.
• Baste the garment together on the seam line
allowing for % inch seam allowance and fit
in usual way.
• After making any necessary adjustments,
trim seam edge evenly to a scant V4inch
from seam line basting.
• Place trimmed seam under the foot so that
the straight stitches fall on the basted seam
line and zig-zag stitches fall over the seam
edge.
