SINGER W910 - Manual (Page 36)

APPLICATIONS:
On most knits, an about 3/16 inch finished
seam, such as pine-leaf or special ultra­
stretch stitches are more desirable than a
5/8 inch opened seam allowance. These
stitches can create a neater, more
professional finish, eliminate bulky
seams, prevent curling, permit the gar­
ment to "give" under stress, and at the
same time they cut down on the amount
of work involved in making a garment. If
ever in doubt as to which of those
stitches to use, test them on the particular
fabric in question and choose according
to their performance.
Its uses are almost unlimited and the
more you use your machine the more it
will become apparent to you
Note;
The stitch length control should
be always at number 5 when
stretch stitching, otherwise the
machine will be noisy and the
material may feed in reverse only
or with uneven forward and reverse
stitch length.
ELASTIC APPLICATION
I
I
Fold fabric over the elastic and stitch
elastic and fabric at one time, using
smocking, pine-leaf, or other ultra-stretch
stitch. The double layer of fabric next to
the elastic should be stitched with the
one-side of ultra-stretch seam and the
elastic should be caught by another side.
