STRETCH STITCHES

SETTINGS :Presser foot - Zigzag foot :Thread tension control - S - E

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

STRAIGHT STRETCH STITCH 01

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 lapels, collars and cuffs to give a professional finish to your garments.

OVEREDGE STITCH 07

This is the same type stitch used by the garment industry in making sportswear - it forms and finishes the seam in one operation.

It’s very effective for use in repairing raw or worn edges of older garments.

RIC-RAC STITCH 08

Ric-rac is a quick method of finishing a raw edge and providing a decorative top-stitch in one operation. It is ideal for edging neck-bands, armholes, sleeves and hems.

FEATHER STITCH 09

The pleasing appearance of this stitch enables it to be used for top stitching, or attaching lace or inset panels when making lingerie or girdles.

It is also ideal for quilting application and faggoting.
