 The needle should be positioned in relation to the right-hand edge
of the fabric so that the stitches loop over the outer edge of the hem.

This stitch is particularly suitable for sewing pieces of material together,
e.g. rips.
The elastic stitch can also be used to reinforce elastic materials and to
sew on pieces of fabric. It is also suitable for sewing on pieces of elastic.

TIP
Use a synthetic thread, as this makes the stitches practically invisible.
Sewing on elastic
 Position the elastic as required.
 Sew on the elastic using the elastic stitch, using your hands to stretch
out the elastic in front of and behind the presser foot. The more you
stretch it, the more it will gather.
Feather stitch
You can use the feather stitch to join two abutted pieces of fabric.

 Place the two fabric edges under the presser foot. Make sure that
the two edges remain together and that the needle enters the fabric
right and left at the same distance from the centre.
