The standard stitch length setting is 0.6 mm and may
be varied between 0.5 and 0.8 mm.
Use the bridging stitch for joining two pieces of fabric
with folded edges.
If you would like a decorative seam, place the folded
edges (without sewing them together first) a few miUime-
ters from each other and Join with bridging stitch.
It may also be used for inserting lace and embroidery.
The bridging stitch is also useful for gathering with
shirring elastic. Use the buttonhole foot C and place the
shirring elastic around its “heel”. Remember that the
elastic will always be stitched double, so take this into
account when calculating how much you will need. Sew
bridging stitch over both lengths of the elastic simulta
neously. The elastic may either be stretched while sew
ing or when you have finished the seam. In the latter case
it is important that the elastic does not get stitched in by
mistake but can run freely under the stitching.
