SINGER W431 - Manual (Page 37)

APPLICATIONS:
On most knits, an about 3/16 inch finish­
ed seam, such as pine-ieaf or Rick-Rack
stretch stitch is more desirabie than a
5/8 inch opened seam aiiowance. These
stitches can create a neater, more
professionai
finish, eiiminate bulky
seams, prevent curling, permit the gar­
ment to "give" under stress, and at the
same time they cut down on the amount
of work involved in making a garment. If
ever in doubt as to which of those
stitches to use, test them on the partic­
ular fabric in question and choose accord­
ing to their performance.
Its uses are almost unlimited and the
more you use your machine the more it
will become apparent to you.
ELASTIC APPLICATION
Fold fabric over the elastic and stitch
elastic and fabric at one time, using
pine-leaf or Rick-Rack stretch stitch.
The double layer of fabric next to the
elastic should be stitched with the one-
side of ultra-stretch seam and the elastic
should be caught by another side.
