Elastic stitch Prog. 4 Due to its high elasticity this stitch is ideal for sewing on elastic, e.g. onto undergarments. - If replacing elastic, cut off old elastic close to its edge. - If needed gather the fabric edge with the 6 mm long straight edge stitch (see page 74). - Divide the fabric and elastic into quarters and mark. You may find it easier to handle if you pin the elastic to the fabric at the matching marks. - Stretch the elastic to fit 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 Prog. 1 9 The honeycomb stitch is an elastic and decora tive hem, which is very suitable for undergar ments and T-shirts. Fold the seam or hem edge over twice and overstitch with the honeycomb stitch. 68
