TURNED UNDER ELASTIC
• Select Zigzag Stitch #2/green - SW 2mm and SL 2mm.
• Position the elastic on the wrong side of the fabric, along one 6” edge.
• Allow a 2” tail of elastic to extend beyond the fabric.
• Using the tail of elastic at the back of the presser foot for a “handle”, stretch the elastic
a bit to simulate the leg of an exercise leotard or swimsuit.
Note: This is the same procedure used to do a turned waistband, using wider elastic.
• Sew the elastic to the fabric keeping the edge of the elastic and the edge of the fabric together.
• If stopping midway, place the needle down to hold the elastic and fabric in place.
• Fold the elastic to the wrong side and overstitch the elastic from the right side using Running
Stitch #7/green with a length of 1mm.
• Adjust stitch length if elastic stretches out as it is sewn.
