A. Seams
The normal stitch length
for
most
fabncs IS 3, but the length chosen
should depend on the fabric and
area of usage. Usually, heavier
tabncs require longer stitches, and
ighter
weight
fabrics
require
shorter stitches. For curved seams
and bias cut areas use a shorter
Sptch length to add strength and
elasticity to the seam
B. Basting/Topstitching
Sewing a seam with a longer
stitch is useful for temporary
seams prior to fitting. Basting
stitches also may be used when
gathering in fullness. Topstitching
can be done very -effectively with
the long straight stitch. For a
bolder stitch, two threads of the
same type can be threaded through
one needle (size 14 or 16). A
heavier thread such as buttonhole
twist may be usedfortopstitching,
but be sure to use a larger needle
(size 16 or
1
8). Basting instructions
