Reinforced straight stitch
Stretch stitch
The stretch stitch makes a plia-
ble, stretchy seam that is suitable
for sewing together pieces of light
stretch fabric.
The stretch stitch is ideal for topstit-
ching in light stretch fabrics.
The zigzag is utilized for sewing
on lace, bound edging and appli-
qués.
When you select the zigzag the
machine will automatically set stitch
length 2 and width 3.
You can change this setting by pres-
sing either the (+) or (-) button on
the width and/or length. Experiment
until you reach the best setting for
your actual work.
Zigzag
Sewing
The reinforced straight stitch is
stronger than ordinary straight stitch,
due to the fact that it is a triple and
elastic stitch.
The reinforced straight stitch can be
used for heavy stretch fabrics, for
crotch seams which are subject to
considerable strain and for topstit-
ching in heavy fabrics.
