− The needle should be positioned in relation to the right-hand edge
of the fabric so that the stitches loop over the outer edge of the
hem.
Stretch stitch
This stitch is particularly suitable for sewing seams (sewing two pieces
of material together).
It can also be used to reinforce elastic materials and to sew on fabric
pieces. It is also suitable for sewing on elastic (e.g. elastic tape).

TIP
Use a synthetic thread, as this makes the stitches practically
invisible.
Sewing on elastic tapes
− Position the elastic tape as required.
− Sew on the elastic tape with stretch stitch, using your hands to
stretch out the elastic tape in front of and behind the presser foot.
The more you stretch it, the more it will gather.
Stitch pattern adjustment
The stitch pattern may look uneven, depending on which fabrics you
are using. If this is the case, you can alter the stitch pattern setting
manually.
− Turn the stitch length regulator towards the + symbol if the pattern
is too tight.
− Turn the stitch length regulator towards the - symbol if the pattern
is too loose.
