MASTERING YOUR BERNINA® BERNINA® Electronic 1008 TURNED UNDER ELASTIC Fabric: Needle: Thread: Presser Foot: Lycra - cotton or nylont, 6" x 5" 9" of cotton swimwear elastic, ½" wide 80/12 Universal All-purpose sewing thread Reverse Pattern Foot #1 • Select Zigzag Stitch #2/green - SW 2mm and SL 2mm. • Position the elastic on the wrong side of the fabric, along one 6" edge. • Allow a 2" tail of elastic to extend beyond the fabric. • Using the tail of elastic at the back of the presser foot for a "handle", stretch the elastic a bit to simulate the leg of an exercise leotard or swimsuit. Note: This is the same procedure used to do a turned waistband, using wider elastic. • Sew the elastic to the fabric keeping the edge of the elastic and the edge of the fabric together. • If stopping midway, place the needle down to hold the elastic and fabric in place. • Fold the elastic to the wrong side and overstitch the elastic from the right side using Running Stitch #7/green with a length of 1mm. • Adjust stitch length if elastic stretches out as it is sewn.
