KNIT FABRIC SEAMS
A narrow zig-zag stitch is ideal for seaming
knit
fabrics.
It is particularly
suitable
for
underarm
seams,
or
other
seams
where
elasticity
and give are needed.
For curved
or bias seams,
where
a stay is
needed to prevent undue
stretching,
this same
stitch can be used to apply seam tape.
