Sewing
Diamond stitch or smocking stitch
Smocking stitch can be used in many different ways and is
decorative, e.g. for attaching lace or elastic tapes, or for sewing on
stretch and other elastic materials.

For smocking work, please note the following:
− Gather the material evenly.
− Place a narrow strip of fabric under the gathers and sew over
them using the smocking stitch.
− Finish the smocking work before you insert this decorative
piece in the garment.
− In the case of very lightweight fabrics, the same effect can be
achieved by using an elastic thread on the bobbin.
Overlock whipstitch
This stitch is particularly suitable for sewing and patching jersey and
tracksuits. The stitch is both decorative and functional. It consists of
smooth side lines with cross-connections and is completely elastic.

− Position the edge of the fabric under the presser foot so that the
needle is just touching the edge of the fabric when it is at the
right and so that a zigzag stitch is sewn when it is at the left.
Zigzag with three stitches
Use this type of stitch to clean up edges.
