Straight Stitch
Center Position
The basic stitch used for sewing. The most common use for a straight stitch is to sew two
pieces of fabric together.
Straight Stretch
Stitch
Stronger than a regular straight stitch, on stretch knit fabrics, because it locks three times
— forward, backward and forward again. Use it to reinforce seams of sportswear and for
curved seams which take a lot of strain.
Stretch Stitch For seams in tricot and stretch fabrics.
Zigzag Stitch A very versatile stitch for decorative sewing, appliqué, attaching trims, and more.
Multi-Step
Zigzag Stitch
Finish seam allowances to prevent the fabric from unravelling. When seam nishing, the
smaller step of the stitches will help keep fabric more at than a regular zigzag. It can
also be used for mending tears and sewing elastic.
Overlock Stitch Sew seam and overcast in one step. For medium and medium/heavy stretch fabrics.
Blind Hem
Stitch
F
Sew hems that are practically invisible from the right side of the fabric. It is used for
skirts, dresses, trousers, curtains, etc, made with non-stretch fabrics.
Stretch Blind
Hem Stitch
F
Sew hems that are practically invisible from the right side of the fabric. It is used for

on sheer materials. Sew along the raw edge of fabric and trim close to the outside of the
stitching.
