Utility stitches and practical sewing
Stretch triple straight stitch (only at
1132)
This stitch is used for sewing all seams
where great strength is needed, e.g. inside
trouser seams, crotch and armhole seams.
The stitch is sewn with two stitches
forward and one stitch backward,
forming a seam that does not rip easily.
Also use it when constructing items such
as backpacks for extra strength.
Carefully guide the fabric while sewing as
the fabric moves back and forth.
Zigzag stitch
Simple zigzag stitching is widely used
for overcasting, sewing on buttons etc.
Adjust the stitch length to suit your
sewing needs.
Note: Use a stabilizer for stretch fabrics such
as tricot and knits to prevent puckering.
Overcasting
In addition to overlock stitching, zigzag
stitch D, is also suitable for overcasting
various materials. In this case, the
material should only be positioned
halfway under the sewing foot.
When overcasting the edge, make sure the
needle goes into the material and over the
edge alternately.
Place the fabric so that the needle is just
off the raw edge of the fabric when the
needle swings to the right. Lower the
presser foot and sew while guiding the
fabric carefully.
