These seams are particularly flat, join bordering fabric plies and serge them at the same time. This produces the typical flatlock effect which lends a professional look to collar plackets or raglan seams. Fagoting stitch Prog. 17 With the fagoting stitch you can make very elastic seams with hemstitching effect, e.g. on corsetry. • Serge the fabric edges and tack-baste over on the inside. • Place the fabric under the sewing foot with the edges about 3 mm (1/8 of an inch) apart. • Sew on the face side, making sure the needle enters the material on the right and left side. Cross stitch Prog. 19 Owing to its high elasticity, this stitch is very suitable for decorative hems, e.g. on T-shirts and underwear. • Serge the fabric edge. • Baste over the seam margin to the left. • Stitch over the hem from the face side. When doing so, make sure the fabric edge is properly overstitched. If) E aa)) C., UL1(.) a) 2 Ea) 119
