It sews a seam and a seam finish, all at the same time. Sew the stitch with the left side on the seam line of your project. Trim excess seam allowance when finished sewing. Use this stitch to embellish your sewing projects with a single row, multiple rows, or even in combination with other decorative stitches. Experiment with various types of thread such as rayon thread, all-purpose thread, metallic thread, topstitching thread, or even 30wt and 12wt cotton. Use a needle that is appropriate for the type of thread you are using. It is also helpful to use a stabilizer to help support the stitches. Learn more about needles and stabilizer on the SINGER website. Machine buttonholes are quick and easy to sew. Check your machine manual for details on how to create buttonholes for your specific machine model. Tip: If your machine model doesn't have an automatic tie-off, use a hand sewing needle to bring the thread tails to the back side of your project, then tie them to secure so that the buttonhole stitches don't unravel. Try sewing the buttonhole stitch as a decorative stitch. Sew several on the fabric as desired. Don't cut them open - simply use them as a way to add surface embellishment to your fabric! Use your machine's buttonhole function to create small "eyelets". By making very short buttonholes, you can create openings through which you can weave ribbons or cords, for decorative embellishment. This stitch can be used to sew seams on stretch fabrics. It's a good choice for seams on ligthweight to medium weight stretch fabrics. The stitch will stretch with the fabric when the fabric is stretched. Use a Ball Point Needle to prevent skipped stitches on the stretch fabric. Learn more about needles on the SINGER website. Use this stitch to embellish your sewing projects with a single row, multiple rows, or even in combination with other decorative stitches. Experiment with various types of 23 of 360
