Singer 645 - Applications; Elastic Application

APPLICATIONS:
On most
knits,
an about
3/16
inch
finished
seam,
such
as
pine-leaf
or
special
ultra-
stretch
stitches
are
more
desirablethan
a
5/8
inch
opened
seam
allowance.
These
stitches
can
create
a
neater,
more
professional
finish,
eliminate
bulky
seams,
prevent
curling,
permit
the gar
ment
to
“give”
under
stress,
and at
the
same
time
they
cut
down
on
the
amount
of
work
involved
in
making
a
garment.
If
ever
in
doubt
as
to
which of
those
stitches
to
use,
test
them
on
the
particular
fabric
in
question
and
choose
according
to
their
performance.
Its
uses
are
almost
unlimited
and
the
more
you
use
your
machine
the
more
j
will
become
apparent
to
you
•
