Slipcover Welting — Tubylar Trimming

Chainstitching has an affinity for fabrics cut
on the bias. The loop formation of the
chainstitch is a natural lor corded welting and
tubular trimming where a certain amount of
elasticity is needed to prevent stitchses from
“cracking”.

Beit Carriers and Stay Cbalos

Stay chains (sometimes called French tacks)
and belt loops, normally time-consuming

hand-worked detail finishes, can now be
quickly made by machine. To produce a

chain, place the first stitch in the fabric. Stitch
off fabric and continue stitching until a suffi
cient length of chain is produced. Thread
chain through emibroidery or darning needle
and tack to garment or lining. A stitch length
setting of 12 is recommended.

Growlb and Shrinkage Tucks

Tucks are frequently put into curtains, linings,

and children’s clothes to allow for fabric
shrinkage and child’s growth. “Letting down”

is no longer a chore when tucks are

chalnstitched. Simply unlock the last loop of
the chain formed on the unde.»-side of the tuck
and puli out the stitching.
