SEAMS IN KNIT FABRICS
• Needle Position: Centre
• Stitch Width: 1 to 2
• Stitch Length: About 20
The zig-zag stitch is ideal for seaming knit
fabrics. It is particularly desirable for underarm
seams where elasticity and give are needed.
For neckline and waistline seams, where a stay
is
needed
to
prevent
undue
stretching,
this
same stitch can be used to apply seam tape.
For a flat, smooth finish:
1. If seam is curved, pre-shape tape to fit by
steam pressing.
2. Baste tape in place.
3. Stitch,allowing needle to alternately enter
the seam tape and seam allowance.
