STRETCH AND DECORATIVE STITCHES
Stretch stitches are mainly for use on knit, or stretchable
fabrics, but can also be used on woven fabrics.
SETTINGS :Presser foot - General purpose foot or satin stitch foot
:Thread tension control - AUTO
STRAIGHT STRETCH STITCH
Straight stretch stitch is far stronger than an ordinary straight
stitch because it locks three times - forwards, backwards and
forwards.
It is particularly suitable for reinforcing the seams of
sportswear in stretch and non-stretch fabrics, and for curved
seams which take a lot of strain.
Use this stitch also to top-stitch lapels, collars and cuffs to give
a professional nish to your garments.
RIC-RAC STITCH
Ric-rac is primarily used for a decorative top-stitch. It is ideal
for edging neck-bands, armholes, sleeves and hems. When
manually adjusted to a very narrow width, it can also be used
for sewing high-stress seams.
HONEYCOMB STITCH
The honeycomb stitch is ideal for smocking and useful
for overcasting and attaching elastic and stretch lace.
1. Make several rows of gathers across the fabric that you
wish to smock.
2. With a narrow strip of fabric directly under the line of
gathering, stitch over the gathers. The design will be a
series of small diamonds.
OVEREDGE STITCH
This is a similar stitch used by the garment industry in making
sportswear
-
it sews and nishes the seam in one operation.
It’s very effective for use in repairing raw or worn edges of
garments.
NOTE: When sewing the honeycomb stitch, the satin
stitch foot MUST be used.
