For a very fine, deiicate seam in nylon tricot
or jersey, the interlock is used. Lingerie or
tricot seams should only be about
1/8 inch
in finished width.
If your pattern has wide seams, trim them
down to 1/4 inch while cutting out the
pattern. Guide the raw edges of the fabric
into the center slot of the presser foot. On
the right, the needle will stitch over the edge
resulting in a finished 1/8 inch. (Fig. 1171

INSERTING LACE
A very fine lace insertion can be made with
the interlock. As in applying lace with the
zigzag stitch, follow the straight line or the
design of the lace. See page 29. Sew so that
the straight stitch of the interlock is on the
fabric and the small zigzag catches into the
lace. (Fig. 118)

SHELL TUCK
The Interlock stitch can produce a very fine
delicate shell tuck, especially nice on soft
knits. It is not necessary to work with the
bulk of the fabric to the right. Simply fold
under the edge where the shell tuck is to be
created. .Place the fabric, with the bulk to
the left, so that the folded edge will be
guided into the center cut of the foot.
The single straight stitch will form on the
fabric, and the zigzag will swing to the right
of the folded edge. The shell edge is created
as the needle swings back into the fabric.
