STRETCH AND DECORATIVE STITCHES SETTINGS :Presser foot - General Purpose Foot or Satin Stitch Foot (Optional) :Thread tension control - AUTO Stretch stitches are mainly for use on knit, or stretchable fabrics, but can also be used on woven materials. STRAIGHT STRETCH STITCH Straight stretch stitch is far stronger than an ordinary straight stitch because it locks three times - forwards, backwards and forwards. It is particularly suitable for reinforcing the seams of sportswear in stretch and non-stretch fabrics, and for curved seams which take a lot of strain. Use this stitch also to top-stitch lapels, collars and cuffs to give a professional finish to your garments. OVEREDGE STITCH This is a similar stitch used by the garment industry in making sportswear - it sews and finishes the seam in one operation. It's very effective for use in repairing raw or worn edges of garments. FEATHER STITCH The pleasing appearance of this stitch enables it to be used for top-stitching, or attaching lace or inset panels. It is also ideal for quilting applications and joining fabrics. RIC-RAC STITCH Ric-rac stitch is primarily used for a decorative top-stitch. It is ideal for edging neck-bands, armholes, sleeves and hems. When manually adjusted to a very narrow width, it also can be used for seaming in areas that will receive stress. 50
