Procedure Make a test sample before beginning garment construction to test machine settings. (See page 23 for adjusting stitch balance.) Be sure to duplicate the cut of the garment seam in your test, and use a ball-point Yellow Band needle if you are sewing a synthetic knit fabric. • Baste the garment together on the seam line allowing for 5/8 inch seam allowance and fit in usual way. • After making any necessary adjustments, trim seam edge evenly to a scant 1/4 inch from seam line basting. • Place trimmed seam under the foot so that the straight stitches fall on the basted seam line and zig-zag stitches fall over the seam edge. of a narrower stitch width is desired, as for seam finishing of fine fabrics, use the zig-zag foot in place of overedge foot to prevent needle breakage.
