The honeycomb stitch is ideal for smocking and it is useful for mending, overcasting
and attaching lingerie elastic, stretch lace and blanket binding. Use this versatile stitch
to create decorative designs on fabrics that stretch.

• Pattern Group Selector: 8-9

• Needle Position: « [ ¿ j «

• General Purpose Needle Plate

We recommend the needle style 2045 when
sewing on regular elastic.

• Fit elastic for desired snugness at waistline,

allowing 2.5 cm (1 inch) for joining. Lap ends
to form a band and straight stitch together
as shown using a ball point needle.

• Divide elastic band into four equal segments

and mark with pins. Do the same to the
garment. Then pin together at corresponding
points, pinning elastic over right side of
fabric, top edges even.

• Sew a few straight stitches to anchor elastic

to fabric.

• Select honeycomb. Plain zig-zag, and multi­

stitch zig-zag are also effective for replacing
lingerie elastic.

• Then hold elastic garment edge taut as you

stitch so that it will remain stretchable after
stitching is completed.

CAUTION: Do not pull the fabric while you are
stitching as this may deflect the needle, causing
it to break.
