"A. Topstitching/Rick - Rack
A decorative topstitch can be
produced
with

rick-rack
stitch. Stitch around the structural
lines of the garment for a special
effect. Topstitch braid or a deco
rative inset to add an additional
creative flair.
B. Tapering/Rick-Rack
The rick-rack stitch may be tape
red to form creative stems and
petals of flowers, embroidered
pictures and wall hangings. As in
tapering the zigzag, slowly turn
the stitch width lever from 0 to 5
and back to 0. A group of these
tapered rick-rack stitch will form a
bouquet-like effect.
C. Procedure:
•The elastic rick-rack stitch is a
zigzag line of stitching that is
desired so that seams may be
pressed open.
•Apply this stitch to areas of stress
on both wovens and knits.
•Use narrow width of zigzag as a
heavy duty triple stitch for seams.
•Use medium and wide widths of
zigzag for overcasting edges of
seams, facings and hems of
heavier weight fabrics such as
terrycloth, and for attaching ela
stic. Use also for decorative
stitching.
•Guide your fabric from the front.
Do not pull or push as it will
cause poor stitching.
