The Elastic Stitch can be used in 3 ways: mending, sewing elastic or joining fabric. Each is explained below.

Set the pattern selection dial to 14.

MENDING

1.Place the reinforcement fabric under the tear to be mended.

2.Following the line of the tear, sew using the Elastic Stitch as illustrated in fig. A.

SEWING ELASTIC

1.Place the elastic on the fabric.

2.As you sew, stretch the elastic both in the front and behind the presser foot as shown in fig. B.

JOINING FABRIC

The Elastic Stitch can be used to join two pieces of fabric together and is very effective when sewing knitted fabrics. When nylon thread is used, the stitch will not be visible.

1.Place the edge of the two pieces of fabric together and center them under the presser foot.

2.Sew them together using the Elastic Stitch taking care to keep the two fabric edges close together as shown in fig. C.

Modèle

14 (Point élastique)

Le point élastique possède trois fonctions principales: le raccom- modage, la couture d’élastiques ou l’assemblage de tissus. Cha- cune de ces trois fonctions se trouve détaillée ci-dessous.

Mettre le sélecteur de modèle sur 14.

REPRISAGE

1.Placer une pièce de renfort sous la déchirure à réparer.

2.Coudre en suivant la ligne de la déchirure. Coudre au point élastique comme le montre la fig. A.

COUTURE D’ELASTIQUES

1.Placer l’élastique sur le tissu.

2.A mesure que l’on coud, tendre l’élastique de part et d’autre du pied-de-biche (voir fig. B).

ASSEMBLAGE DE TISSUS

Le point élastique peut servir à assembler deux morceaux de tissu. Il s’avère particulièrement efficace pour la couture de tricots. Avec du fil nylon, la couture sera invisible.

1.Placer bord à bord les deux pièces de tissu et les centrer sous le pied-de-biche.

2.Les assembler avec le point élastique, en prenant bien soin de garder les deux pièces bord à bord, comme le montre la fig.C.
