FAGGOTING

This is a popular decorative stitch (used in sleeves or fronts of blouses and dresses). To attach two separate pieces of fabric together, leave a little space in between. To prepare the fabric:

Fold under the seam allowances on the cut edges, and press. Baste folded edges to tissue paper with about 1/8" (0.3 cm) space between. Stitch over the 1/8" (0.3 cm) allowance, just catching the fabric fold on both sides with needle. Remove bastings and paper; press.

STRETCH STITCHES

Stretch stitches are mainly for use on knit, or stretchable fabrics, but can also be used on ordinary materials.

Use the stretch stitch needle with yellow shank when sewing on stretchable fabric. Use normal needles for non- stretchable fabrics.

ADJUSTING STRETCH STITCH BALANCE

Stitch length/super (stretch) stitch control should be at mark for most materials. Depending upon the type of fabric used, you may need to adjust this Control to match forward stitches of stretch sewing with reverse motion stitches. If the stitches are too open, turn the Control to S position; if the stitches overlap, turn the Control to L position.

STRAIGHT STRETCH STITCH

Straight stretch stitch is far stronger than an ordinary straight stitch because it locks three times - forwards, backwards and forwards.

It is particularly suitable for reinforcing the seams of sportswear in stretch and non-stretch fabrics, and for curved seams which take a lot of strain.

Use this stitch also to top-stitch around lapels, collars and cuffs to give a professional finish to your garments.

ESPAÑOL

HACES (Diente de rata)

Esta es una puntada muy popular (usada en mangas o delanteros de blusas y vestidos).

Para sujetar dos piezas separadas de tejido dejar un pequeño espacio entre ellas. Para preparar el tejido: Doblar el tejido hacia abajo y presionarlo. Hilvanar los bordes doblados al papel de seda, dejando un espacio de 1/8". Coser por encima del espacio de 1/8", cogiendo con la aguja el género doblado por ambos lados. Sacar los hilvanes y el papel; planchar.

PUNTADAS ELASTICAS

Las puntadas elásticas se utilizan principalmente en géneros de punto o materiales elásticos, pero también se puede usar en materiales corrientes.

Utilizar la aguja de punta a bola, cuando se cosan tejidos elásticos. Utilizar las agujas normales para los tejidos no elásticos.

AJUSTE FINO PUNTADA ELASTICA

El control del largo de puntada/super (elástica), debe de estar en la marca para la mayoría de materiales. Dependiendo del tipo de material a coser, usted deberá ajustar este control para conseguir igualar las puntadas hacia adelante con las puntadas de atrás. Si las puntadas son demasiado abiertas girar el control a la posición S; si las puntadas se sobreponen, girar el control a la posición L.

PUNTADA RECTA TRIPLE

La puntada recta triple es mucho más fuerte que la puntada recta corriente, ya que entrelaza tres veces–hacia adelante, hacia atrás y hacia adelante.

Es particularmente adecuada para reforzar las costuras de prendas deportivas de tejidos elásticos y no elásticos y para costuras curvas que requieren una gran resistencia.

Utilizar también esta puntada para sobrecoser solapas redondeadas, cuellos y puños, ya que proporciona un acabado profesional a las prendas.
