SEAMING BIAS CURVES
The triple stitch action of the stretch straight stitch offers
flexible and durable seams. Use it to sew stress areas
such as the crotch seams in pants or the sleeve under-
arm area.
Align the fabric edge with the seam guide marking on
the needle plate.
Stitch the seam, guiding the fabric along the seam guide
[Fig. 1]. The machine takes two stitches forward and one
stitch back to create this durable seam.
SEAMING DOUBLE KNITS
The flexibility of the straight stretch stitch makes it ideal
for seaming heavy or double knits.
Align the fabric edge with a seam guide marking on the
needle plate [Fig. 2].
Stitch the seam, carefully guiding the fabric edge along
the seam guide.
TOPSTITCHING
Use this stitch for a bold, contrasting decorative stitch.
Stitch 1/4” away from the finished edge of the fabric. Use
the outer edge of the all-purpose presser foot as a guide
[Fig. 3] or use the adjustable blindhem foot as described
on page 16 under Topstitching and Edgestitching.
