GUIDING AND SUPPORTING FABRIC
Most fabrics of stretch or knit construction need only to
be guided in front of the presser foot. Some fabrics,
however, require support while being stitched.
• For nylon tricot. cire, panne velvet, and similar syn-
thetic knits, apply gentle tension by holding fabric taut
in front and back of the presser foot as you sew.
• For elasticized fabric, stretch lace, and knits with an
unusual amount of elasticity, apply firm tension in
front and back of the presser foot to stretch the seam
as the stitches are being placed.
The Semi-Stretch pattern (disc 37) with a narrow stitch
width is ideal for sewing stretch seams.
