Flat joining seam

Stitch length: 3-4 mm
Differential: N-2 (depending on fabric)
- Mark seam allowances.
- Turn or press under the edge of the upper fabric (if not already neat-
ened).
- Place edges on top of one another.
- Guide fabric edge along one of the side sections of the foot.
When sewing on elastic or lace, place it on the fabric and cover with
the seam allowance. The underside (raw edge) will be neatened. If the
seam allowance is more than 6 mm (1/4"), it can be trimmed close to
the stitches after sewing.
Ideal for all hems and edges with elastic in jerseys, knits and stretch
fabrics. Suitable for shaped pieces such as raglan sleeves, curved in-
serts and bindings.
