Utility stitches and practical sewing Elastic stitch Stitch E Because of its high elasticity, this stitch is used for sewing on elastic band, e.g. on underwear; skirt, trouser and dress waistbands; and cuffs. • If replacing elastic, cut off old elastic close to its edge. • If needed, gather the fabric edge with the 4 mm long straight stitch (c.f. page 40). • Divide fabric and elastic into quarters and mark. You may Ànd it easier to handle if you pin the elastic to the fabric at the matching marks. • Stretch the elastic to Àt the fabric, matching marks as you sew. • Overlap the ends slightly and secure with the elastic stitch. • On skirts and pants (trousers) the elastic is sewn onto the prepared edge with the elastic stitch. Honeycomb stitch models 1032 and 1042 E stretch The honeycomb stitch is an elastic and decorative hem which is very suitable for underwear and T-shirts. • Fold the seam or hem edge over twice and overstitch with the honeycomb stitch. 31
