SEAMING ULTRA STRETCH
On
most
knits,
a
1/4
inch
finished
seam,
such
as
stitch
and
overcast
or
the
overlook
stitch,
is
more
desirable
than
a
5/8
inch
opened
seam
allowance.
These
stitches
can
create
a
neater,
more
profes
sional
finish,
eliminate
bulky
seams,
prevent
curl
ing,
permit
the
garment
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 the two stitches to use, test both on
the
particular
fabric
in
question
and
choose
accor
ding to their performance.
The
stitch
and
overcast
stitch
is
excellent
for
stretch
fabrics
such
as
sweater
knits,
bathing
suit
knits,
and
cotton
knits.
It
has
the
greatest
strength
and elasticity of all.
For
patterns
with
1/4
inch
seam
allowances:
Feed
the
fabric
such
that
the
needle
goes
over
the
raw
edge of the fabric when it swings to the right.
For
patterns
with
5/8
inch
sgam
allowajices:
Feed
the
raw
edge
of
the
fabric
along
the
etched
guide
line
"1/2",
then
trim
away
the
excess
fabric
close
to the stitching.

for
seaming

the

edge
of
knit
fabrics,
all
