Sewing Elastic Blindhem Stitch The elastic blindhem stitch is especially suitable for stretchy fabrics, because the zigzag in the stitch lets the stitch stretch. The hem is finished and sewn at the same time. There is no need to finish the raw edge first on most knits. Sewing in Zippers There are different ways to sew in zippers. Follow the directions included with your pattern for best results. For all types of zippers it is important to sew close to the teeth of the zipper. The zipper foot 4 can be snapped to the presser foot bar on the left or right, depending on how you will insert your zipper. Then set the stitch position so that it enters close to the edge of the zipper teeth by using one of the 29 needle positions available for the straight stitch. If the presser foot is attached on the right side, the needle must only be moved to the right. If the foot is attached on the left, the needle must only be moved to the left.
