Elastic Sewing of Knitted Goods
( ill U i
Knitted goods can be mended in a variety of ways of which the two most usual are
described below:
A U e m a t i v e /;The mending patch is cut to the
desired shape and size and then placed on top of
the damaged part of the fabric in line with the
direction of the loops. The under side of Loth sec­
tions must face up. The pieces are fixed by pro­
visional stitches. Then sew over the cut edge of
the patch with zigzag stitches (stitch length 1 and
width 3 or 4). A second zigzag seam is sewn inside
this seam, at a distance of approx. Vt" and the
damaged area then cut out along the inner seam
and the provisional stitches removed.
A lt e r n a t i v e The mending patch is placed under
the damaged portion with the loops in line (Fig.
24a), the under side of both sections facing up,
j and the patch sewn o n (Fig. 24 b).

Now sew a zigzag seam along the basting stitches
(Fig, 24c) using stitch length 1 and width 3 or
4, and a second seam at a distance of approx, ‘/i".
Then cut the damaged area out along the inner
stitches and trim the free edge of the patch below
along the outer seam. Finally remove basting.
Sewing on Lac a
To sew on lace use short stitch lengths and narrow
stitch width as a rule. Normally the stitch length
regulator 16 (Fig. 2) is set at 1 and the zigzag
knob 12 at 1-2. Place lace on the material, so as to
overlap by about 1", thus facilitating sewing on.
Now attach the lace by zigzag stitches and then
cut off the free edge of the material along the
zigzag seam.
