Double Action Stitching
These stitches are used for joining two pieces of
fabric, such as when making patchwork. Set the
pattern selection dial to the Double Action Stitch,
Bridging Stitch, or Rampart Stitch.
Patchworking
These stitches are used to join two pieces of fabric
while leaving a space between their edges.
1
Fold over the edges of the two pieces of fabric
for the hem and baste the edges to a thin
piece of paper leaving a small space between
them.
2
Set the pattern selection dial to the Smocking
Stitch, Fagoting Stitch, or Decorative Stitch.
3
Stitch along the edge, pulling both threads
slightly when beginning to sew.
Use thicker than normal threads for sewing.
4
After sewing, remove the basting and the
paper. Finish by tying knots on the reverse
side at the beginning and the end of the
seams.
