• Using the four-thread stitch and your differential, you can make softly
gathered ruffles instantly.
•
Use the set-up information and simply serge the top edge of your fabric
and create your ruffle.
• Balanced three-thread seams have more stretch than a four-thread stitch
and are generally used in construction of knit garments.
• Three-thread stitches are created by using only 1 of the 2 needles.
•
Use the left needle for a wider stitch.
•
Use the right needle for a narrow stitch.
