Triple Straight Stitch; Rick-Rack Stitch; Stretch Overlock Stitch - Siruba HSM-2517 Instructions Manual

TRIPLE STRAIGHT STITCH

Stitch Selector A
Stitch Width 3
Stitch Length -S+
Triple straight stitch is far stronger than
ordinary straight stitch because it locks
three times- forwards, backwards and
forwards.
It is particularly suitable for reinforcing the
seams of sportswear in stretch and non-
strech fabrics, and for curved seams which
take a lot of strain.
Use this stitch also to top-stitch around
lapels,collars and cuffs to give a
professional finish to your garments.

STRETCH STITCHES
Stretch stitches are mainly for use on knit, or stretch fabrics,
but can also be sewn on woven fabrics.
ADJUSTING STRETCH STITCH BALANCE
Stitch length / super (stretch) stitch dial should be at S mark for most
materials. Depending upon the type of fabric used, you may need
to adjust this dial to match forward stitches of stretch sewing with
reverse motion stitches. If the stitches are too open, turn the dial
to + position; if the stitches overlap, turn the dial to - position.
