SECTION 5. LEARN THE STITCHES
Outline Stretch
This stitch pattern, a variation of the straight
stitch, IS a narrow stretch stitch designed to
eliminate puckering on knit fabrics and bias
seams.
On tricot and filmy chiffons, it can be used
to seam and overcast at the same time to
produce a narrow, almost invisible seam or
seam finish.
Here's How:
1.
Place your fabric edge on the
6/8" seam line In order to produce a 5/8
seam.
2.
Sew as you would a straight stitch.
Helpful Hints

lightweight fabrics)
1. Set the pressure dial at "1" or "2".
2.
To seam and overcast tricot:
a. Set the stitch width at "3"-
b. Sew with the right hand stitch falling off the fabric edge.
