OVEREDGED SEAMS
Seams In knit and stretch fabric can be
joined and finished In one operation. Two
different methods may be used. Method
No. 1 is recommended for firm fabrics
where a 6mm (1/4”) seam allowance is
adequate. Method No. 2 Is recommended
for bulky knits and fabrics that have a
tendency to curl or fray and where a wider
seam allowance is needed for support.
Make a test sample to help you decide
which method Is bpst for your fabric and
garment.
Remember to use a Catalog 2045
bail-point (yellow band) needle If you are
sewing a synthetic knit.
