Utiliser ce point pour réaliser une lisière à picot (semblable à de la dentelle) sur un tissu léger.

1.Mettre le sélecteur de modèle de point sur 8.

2.La tension du fil supérieur doit être légèrement plus forte que la normale.

3.Coudre lentement le tissu sur le biais après l’avoir placé sous le pied-de-biche de sorte que la machine puisse coudre des points droits sur la ligne de couture et des points zigzag légèrement au-dessus du bord replié.

Der Dessousstich kann als Kanten-Zierstich (ähnlich Spitzen) auf leich- ten Stoffen benutzt werden.

1.Stellen Sie den Stichmuster-Drehschalter auf 8.

2.Dieser Stich erfordert eine höhere Fadenspannung als normal.

3.Nähen Sie den Stoff mit langsamer Geschwindigkeit schräg zum Fadenlauf, indem Sie den Stoff so unter den Nähfuß legen, daß die geraden Stiche entlang des Saums laufen und die Zickzackstiche leicht über die gefaltete Stoffkante hinaus gehen.

Patroon

8 (Schelp-rijgsteek)

De schelp-rijgsteek wordt gebruikt voor het naaien van een dun picotrandje (lijkt op kantwerk) op dunne stof.
