Joining Lace and Insertion (cont')

●Place the second band (lace) into slot 4.

●Adjust pressure to correct degree of lightness for even feeding.

●Use a short stitch length and balanced tensions.

●Hold both band edges against the end of the slots while stitching.

French Seams

The edge-stitcher makes very fine French seams, so well adapted to sheer fabrics where raw seam edges must be concealed.

●Trim away seam allowances to ¼".

●Lay seam edges together, right sides of fabric outward, and insert into slot 1.

●Move lug A to the left to position stitching 1/8" from the edge.

●Stitch and press.

●Fold with right sides of fabric together and insert into slot 1.

●Move lug A to extreme left, allowing just enough margin to conceal raw edges.

●Stitch.

Tucking

Dainty tucks from "pin" width to ¼" may be produced with the edge-stitcher. Tucks are usually made on the lengthwise grain of the fabric.

●Draw a single thread from the fabric, or measure from the selvage to locate the first tuck on the straight of the fabric grain.
