SINGER 431 - Manual (Page 63)

SEAMS (Cont'd.)
Curved seams require additional treatment in
handling. A shorter stitch will provide greater
elasticity and strength. Set the attachment at an
angle so that the end closest to the needle acts
as a guide.
TOP STITCHING
A simple and practical way to accent the lines
of a garment and at the same time give additional
firmness.
Either single or multiple rows of stitching can
be expertly placed along lapels and facing edges,
round collars and pockets and as a hem finish.
A subtle effect may be achieved by using straight
stitching, or a decorative touch may be added by
using any of the attractive stitch patterns accom­
plished with this machine.
