SEAMS
This stitch may be used on knits and woven fabrics,
in areas of stress as a reinforcement stitch. It is ex
celnt for curved seams such as armholes and
crotch seams. For active wear such as ski pants and
girdle fabrics which endure a lot of stress in bending
and stretching, this stitch may be used for seaming
throughout the garment.
CAUTION: Itis difficult to remove this stitch from
fabric. Pre-fit garment before using this
stitch.
PROCEDURE:
• The elastic triple straight stitch is used when a
straight line of stitching is desired so that seams
may be pressed open (slacks for example).
• This stitch is especially useful where the tiny
zigzag seam will not hold its shape and the
straight stitch will break.
• Apply this stitch to areas of stress on both
wovens and knits (crotch seam and under arm
for example).
• Use this stitch for tightly fitted garments that
need a lot of stretch, such as ski pants, girdles
and bathing suits.
• If puckering becomes a problem, use the straight
stitch foot.
