SEAMS
This stitch may be used on knits and woven fabrics,
in areas of stress as a reinforcement stitch. It is ex

cellent for curved seams such as armholes and
crotch seams. For active wear such as ski pants and

girdle fabrics which endure a lot of stress in bending
and stretching, this stitch may be used for seaming

throughout the garment.

CAUTION: It is difficult to remove this stitch from

fabric. Pre-fit garment before using this

stitch.

larly on knits.

PROCEDURE.

• The elastic triple straight stitch is used when a

straight line of stitching is desired so that seams
may be pressed open (slacks for example).

• This stitch is especially useful where the tiny

zigzag seam will not hold its shape and the
straight stitch will break.

•

Apply this stitch to areas of stress on both

wovens and knits (crotch seam and under arm
for example).

•

Use this stitch for tightly fitted garments that

need a lot of stretch, such as ski pants, girdles

and bathing suits.

• If puckering becomes a problem, use the straight

stitch foot.
