The Stitch and Its Uses
Use this stitch when you want a
narrow seam that you do not need to
press open flat. It is ideal for 1/4"
seams on knits or on medium to
heavyweight woven fabrics where you
want a narrow seam. It is also great
for making elastic swim wear.
When using stretch knit
fabric, use a blue stretch
fabric needle which
effectively prevents
skipped stitches.
