APPLICATION STRETCH OVERLOCK
On fabrics that are bulkier or heavier, tf^e stretch
overlock is a better choice than the overlock. In all
methods proceed as you would for the overlook,
see page (37), except feed the fabric with the bulk
to the right. The stitch is less dense and will prevent
soft stretchy knits from rippling.

APPLICATIONS SMOCKING STITCH

used as a topstitch as other reverse stitch patterns.

The smocking stitch can be used to seam fine
gauze type fabrics or bulky sweater knits, this
results in less bulk for a finished 1/4 inch seam.

ELASTIC THREAD SHIRRING
Cuffs and bodices of little girls dresses can be shir^
red easily with the smocking stitch. Place the right
side of the garment down on the bed of the
machine. Place two strands of elastic thread under
the foot. Stretch the elastic thread while sewing
with the smocking stitch to gather cuffs or bodice
for a feminine effect.
PROCEDURE:
• The smocking stitch is a very useful special ultra­
stretch stitch.
• Lingerie or tricot seams should only be about 1/8
inch finished width.
• Fagoting can be achieved by joining the folded
edge of two piece of fabric together with a gap
between them. Use a sheer flesh colored piece of
fabric underneath to make the fagoting much
stronger and prettier.
• Do the fagoting with a piece of paper underneath
and remove the paper by hand washing.
