Pattern cassette
Edging
An effective edging can be produced with the arch
stitch. The illustration shows this stitch used on a fine
stretch fabric, where pearl cotton has been sewn on the
edge. It is also suitable for tricot.
This stitch will produce shell-stitched edges on light
fabrics.
A scallop edge is also a very effective edging.
You have the choice between two different stitches.
They are sewn a bit from the edge of the fabric and
trimmed along the stitching.
Point de Paris hemstitch
A hemstitch effect can be achieved by some of the
stitches on the cassette when sewing in linen and similar
fabrics that are not too closely woven.
Single hemstitch can be used when hemming a table­
cloth, for example. Double hemstitch produces two rows
of holes and makes an excellent narrow border.
If a wider border is required, sew several rows of
double hemstitch and match the rows of stitches. Four
rows of double hemstitch have been sewn in the illustra­
tion and single hemstitch has been used to make the hem.
The transparent presser foot for decorative stitches is
here very useful.
A wing needle used with the Point of Paris hemstitch
further accentuates the look of hemstitching, see page
56.
