STRETCH STITCHES
Stretch stitches are mainly for use on knit or stretchable
fabrics, but can also be used on woven fabrics.
SETTINGS :Presser foot - General Purpose Foot
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 lapels, collars and cuffs to give
a professional finish to your garments.
OVEREDGE STITCH
This stitch is especially used for making sportswear. It sews
and finishes the seam in one operation. It is very effective for
repairing raw or worn edges as well.
RIC-RAC STITCH
The ric-rac stitch is provides a bold topstitch for decorative
borders. It is ideal for edging neck-bands, armholes, sleeves
and hems.
FEATHER STITCH
This stitch can be used for topstitching and for attaching lace
and trims.
It is also ideal for quilting applications and for edge-joining.
BLANKET STITCH
The decorative appearance combined with practical use of this
stitch enables it to be used for hemstitching and to applique a
quilt.
