SECTION 5. LEARN THE STITCHES

This stitch pattern combines the straight and
the zigzag stitches, using the overedge foot,
to stitch and overcast seams in one step.

!t also IS a stretch stitch to provide elasticity

for knits and exua strength for woven
fabrics.

Use this stitch when you want a narrow
seam that you do not have to press open
flat. It IS ideal for 1/4" seams on knits

Iwhen attaching ribbingl or on medium to

heavyweight woven fabrics where you want
8 narrow seam.

Here’s How

1. Place your fabric so that the raw edges fit

under the wire guides and touch the
black ridge and brush guide.

2. Gently guide the fabric so that the raw

edges always touch the black ridge and
brush guide.

NOTE: When sewing over several thickness

funder arms, in crotch, etc.) raise the

presser toot slightly to ease the prssser
foot over the hump and keep stitches
from bunching,

3. When you stop sewing, remove the fabric

by drawing it to the back and out. The
fabric or stitching will catch on the wire
guides if you pull it toward you.
