Seam finishing

This stitch is used to finish the seam allowance on

synthetics and other fabrics that tend to pucker.

Place your fabric to allow a 1.6 cm (518") seam.

Trim the seam allowance after sewing.

NOTE

: Be careful not to cut the stitches.

Mending

Position the tear under the needle, so that the stitch
catches both sides.
