These stitches are used to join two pieces of fabric while leaving a
space between their edges.
Patch work
1.
Fold over the edges of the two pieces of fabric
for the hem and baste the edges to a thin piece
of paper leaving a small space between them.
2.
Set the Pattern selector on "G".
Turn the stitch length dial to "S1".
3.
Stitch along the edge, pulling both threads
slightly when beginning to sew.
* Use thicker than normal threads for sewing.
4.
After sewing, remove the basting and the
paper. Finish by tying knots on the reverse side
at the beginning and the end of the seams.
