5-4 Stretch seams 5. Sewing Assistant Joining Use a jersey or stretch needlel3O/705 H-SUK when sewing stretch fabrics. With right sides of fabric together, join using the stretch triple straight stitch 2 or an overedge stitch such as stitch 19. To prevent distortion of seams on knits, you may wish to apply a stay tape or seam binding to the shoulder seams and any other seams that may become stretched out of shape when wearing. Stay tapes and seam bindings are available in both fusible and non-fusible forms. TIP: The stretch triple straight stitch is also suitable for topstitching. Set the stitch length between 4 mm and 6 mm. Overedge seams Using overedge stitches 19-21 and 23-29 you can seam and edgefinish in one operation. Blindhem toot 3 is recommended when sewing overedge seams. This helps guide the fabric and prevents tunnelling of the seam at wider stitch widths. Set the stitch wide enough so the right swing of the needle stitches to the right of the pin on the foot. The right swing of the needle should just clear the raw edge of the fabric.

Stretch
seams
Joining
Use
a
jersey
or
stretch
needlel3O/705
H-SUK
when
sewing
stretch
fabrics.
With
right
sides
of
fabric
together,
join
using
the
stretch
triple
straight
stitch
2
or
an
overedge
stitch
such
as
stitch
19.
To
prevent
distortion
of
seams
on
knits,
you
may
wish
to
apply
a
stay
tape
or
seam
binding
to
the
shoulder
seams
and
any
other
seams
that
may
become
stretched
out
of
shape
when
wearing.
Stay
tapes
and
seam
bindings
are
available
in
both
fusible
and
non-fusible
forms.
TIP:
The
stretch
triple
straight
stitch
is
also
suitable
for
topstitching.
Set
the
stitch
length
between
4
mm
and
6
mm.
Overedge
seams
Using
overedge
stitches
19-21
and
23-29
you
can
seam
and
edge-
finish
in
one
operation.
Blindhem
toot
3
is
recommended
when
sewing
overedge
seams.
This
helps
guide
the
fabric
and
prevents
tunnelling
of
the
seam
at
wider
stitch
widths.
Set
the
stitch
wide
enough
so
the
right
swing
of
the
needle
stitches
to
the
right
of
the
pin
on
the
foot.
The
right
swing
of
the
needle
should
just
clear
the
raw
edge
of
the
fabric.
