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 thread such as rayon thread, allpurpose 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. Use the Stretch Tricot Stitch to sew hems on stretch knit fabrics. The stitch is flexible and will stretch when the fabric stretches. Turn up the hem allowance and pin the hem in place. Stitch from the top side of the garment, making sure to catch the hem on the back side as you sew. Use a polyester or all-purpose thread. Use a Ball Point Needle when sewing stretch fabrics, to prevent skipped stitches. Learn more about needles on the SINGER website. Echo quilting, also called 'outline quilting', is done by following around the shape of an applique, a design printed in the fabric, or even an embroidery. The hand-look quilting stitch looks like row of stitches sewn by hand. Thread the bobbin in a color you want for the stitches which will actually appear on the top side of your quilt layers. Thread the needle with a thread color that blends with the top fabric. Select the hand-look quilting stitch and sew a sample first. It may be necessary to increase the upper thread tension to help "pull" the bobbin thread up a bit more. Adjust stitch length as desired. For echo quilting, sew around a the design, creating an "outline" around it. Continue sewing additional rows as desired. It is helpful to use an Open Toe Foot (additional accessory for some machine models) for a clear view of the sewing area. 21 of 49
