silk or weak fabric, pressure button should be
adjusted in the middle.
Loosen pressure with outer ring . and then
push pressure pin half way towards the
bottom.
Oversewing and embroidering: To be able to
move fabric freely in case of darning,
mending and embroidering, loosen pressure

N This stitch is very effective for
overcasting,
edgestitching, etc, on knits and very
stretchy
fabrics, also, for decoration.

TOPSTITCHING
A decorative topstitch can be prod
uced with
the elastic edging stitch. Stitch arou
nd the
structural lines of the garments for a dram

effect. Topstitch a braid o decorativ
e inset
with the elastic edging to add an addi
tional
decorative flair.
Pattern:
Length: 5
Width: 5
Feed Dog: Up
Pressure: Normal
Foot: Embroidery
Needle Position: L or R
EDGING
As with the stretch blind hem, the
elastic
edging stitch can be used for
a decorative

the rick-rack stitch. Stitch around the struct
ural lines of the garment tor a special effect.
Topstitch braid or a decorative inset to

an additional creative flair.

creative stems and petals of flowers, embro
idered pictures and wall hangings. As in
tapering the zigzag, slowly turn the stitch
width lever from 0 to 5 and back to 0. A
group of these tapered rick-rack stitch will
form bouquet-like effect.
C. Procedure:
• The elastic rick-rack stitch is a zigzag
line of stitching that is desired so that seams
may be pressed open. -

• Apply this stitch to areas of stress on both


wovens and knits.
• Use narrow width of zigzag as a heavy duty
triple stitch for seams.
• Use medium and wide widths of zigzag for
overcasting edges of seams, facings and
hems of heavier weight fabrics such as
terrycloth, and for attaching elastic. Use
also for decorative stitching.
• Guide your fabric from the front. Do not
pull or push as it will cause poor stitching.
