The Stitch and Its Uses

Herds How

Place the tabric under the presser toot

so thatthe stitches are made over the

edge.

NOTE: When using stretch knit

fabric, use a blue stretch

fabric needle which

effectively prevents skipped

stitches.

Use this stitch when you want a narrow

seam that you do not need to press

open flat. Itis ideal for 1/4- seams on

knits or on medium to heavyweight

woven labrics where you want a narrow

seam. It is also great for making

spandex swim wear.
