14 different types of decorative stitches are available. Following are examples of how to use and sew these stitches. You can use other stitches in the same way.

*You should carry out a test sewing on a cut-off strip of the fabric being sewn to check the pattern to be used.

*Slightly loosen top thread tension.

TIPS ON DESIGN STITCHING

Scallop pattern on collar

This is an ideal decorative stitch for the sleeves and collars of ladies’ and children’s clothes, and also for tidying up edges. When using this stitch pattern for tidying up edges, first sew the stitch and then trim the edge of the fabric along the edge of the stitch. Be careful not to cut the stitch at this time.

Domino on bias tape

Use bias tape and fold back the edge. Sew the domino stitch on top of this.

Arrowhead on lapel

In addition to using this pattern as a decorative stitch, it can also be used as a triangular backtack stitch for reinforcing places which can easily unravel. This is particularly useful for sewing both edges of pockets.

Diamond on narrow hem

Fold over the edge of the fabric and use this stitch to tidy up the edge.

Scallop stitches and diamond stitches can be combined to create other attractive patterns.
