• Balanced stitches are used in
construction applications such as seams,
overcasting,
edgings and finishes.
• A balanced
three - or four-thread stitch has both looper threads meeting
or knitting at the outside edge of your fabric.
See your manual for more informat i on on balancing a stitch.
• The four - thread stitch is also called the mock safety stitch.
• This stitch creates a very
durable yet flexible seam.
• The
four - thread stitch is created by using both needles and the loopers.
• The
right (or inside) needle creates a safety stitch between the left (or
outside needle) and the fabric edge .

Shoulder seams often sag if not reinforced or stabilized.
• To reinforce a seam, simply place a length of narrow twill tape along the
seam line before sewing and serge it into the seam.
•
If you want the tape to be less visible, substitute a coordinating narrow
washable satin ribbon for the twill tape .
•
Be sure that your needles catch the tape securely.
