This
seam
is very stretchable and is used
for
open
seams
in
stretch jersey fabrics. Use the three-step zigzag
or
overlock after-
wards
to
overcast
the
seam
allowances.

Place the elastic
on
the
work
as shown in the
illustration.
In this
way
it
is
not
necessary
to
pull the elastic in order
to
stretch
it.
Just
sew
slowly, while feeding enough material under the
foot
to
form gathers. The stitching
will
remain supple and easily stretch-
able. For
very
accurate
work,
sew
a gathering thread and
distribute
the
gathers before sewing
on
the elastic.

The elastic
blind
stitch is
very
useful and suitable
for
sewing
borders
on
table-cloths, serviettes and small
covers,
as
well
as
for
applique
work
and reinforcing. If necessary, the stitching
can
be given a relief
or
the material held in shape by sewing
on one
or
two
threads of pearl
cotton,
at
the
same
time, which
are
placed
flat
under the
foot
in
the
right and
left
grooves. This
stitch is also useful
for
repairing buttonholes. Proceed in the
same
way
as
with
the zigzag stitch,
as
shown
on
page 46.
