Diamond stitch or smock stitch
The diamond stitch can be used in many different ways and is
decorative, e.g. for attaching lace or elastic, or for sewing on stretchy or
other elastic materials.

For smocking work, please note the following:
 Gather the material evenly.
 Place a narrow strip of fabric under the gathers and sew over them
using the smocking stitch.
 Finish the smocking work before you insert this decorative piece into
the garment.
 In the case of very lightweight fabrics, the same effect can be
achieved by using an elastic thread on the bobbin.
Overlock stitch
This stitch is particularly suitable for sewing and patching jersey and
track suits. The stitch is both decorative and functional. It consists of
smooth side lines with cross-connections and is completely elastic.

 Position the edge of the fabric under the presser foot so that the
needle sews straight stitches with the right defl ection and just
touches the edge of the fabric, so that a zigzag stitch is sewn with
the left defl ection.

Scallop stitches are patterned stitches with a decorative but also
practical use.
