PROCEDURE;
•
The
elastic
triple
straight
stitch
is
used
when
a
straight
line
of
stitching
is
desired
so
that
seams
may be pressed open (slacks for example).
•
This
stitch
is
especially
useful
where
the
tiny
zigzag
seam
will
not
hold
its
shape
and
the
straight stitch will break.
•
Apply
this
stitch
to
areas
of
stress
on
both
wovens
and
knits
(crotch
seam
and
under
arm
for example).
•
Use
this
stitch
for
tightly
fitted
garments
that
need
a
lot
of
stretch,
such
as
ski
pants,
girdles
and bathing suits.
•
If
puckering
becomes
a
problem,
use
the
straight
stitch foot.
