Use this stitch to embellish your sewing projects with a single row, multiple rows, or even in combination with other decorative stitches. For machine models with adjustable stitch length and/or stitch width, try various stitch length and/ or width adjustments to change the look of the stitch as desired. Experiment with various types of thread such as rayon thread, all-purpose thread, metallic thread, topstitching thread, or even 30wt and 12wt cotton. Be sure to use a needle that is appropriate for the type of thread you are using, and stabilizer to help support the fabric and stitches.

It's an easy way to embellish projects. It is helpful to use an Open Toe Foot (additional accessory for some machine models), which provides a clear view of the sewing area. For machines with adjustable stitch length and stitch width, set the stitch length and stitch width according to your ribbon width and the look you want for your project. This stitch can be used to reinforce seams of stretch fabrics. The stitch is stronger than a regular straight stitch becuase it sews the same stitch three times - forward, backward and forward again. Because the stitch stretches, it's a good choice for seams on medium to heavy weight stretch fabrics. The stitch will stretch with the fabric when the fabric is stretched. Use a Ball Point needle to help prevent skipped stitches on stretch fabrics. Learn more about needles on the SINGER website. This stitch can be used to create a delicate heirloom look for fabrics such as organza, organdy and batiste. Use a SINGER Wing Needle (additional accessory), which creates little holes each time it makes a stitch. Use lightweight thread in the needle and bobbin, as regular allpurpose thread is too thick and will "fill up" the holes. Learn more about needles on the SINGER website.
