LOVELY LETTUCE
EDGING
Lettuce edges take advantage of the fabric's stretchi- hess. To get the frilly effect, you stretch the fabric while stitching the garment edge. The more the fabric is stretched, the smaller and more numerous the r_p- pies, in this process, some fabrics tend to develop runs, so test a swatch first. Machine settings are the same as above except:

The exclusive Kenmore Q FOOT TM and.Q NEEDLE TM are invaluable hepers for stitching these stretch fabrics.
