STITCH "L" - HONEYCOMB

DECORATIVE RIBBON ATTACHING

This stitch is ideal for decorative topstitching. Use alone
or topstitch over ribbon or cording. Use a variegated
thread for extra pizzazz.
STITCH STITCH WIDTH
L 5
Place the ribbon along the stitching line [Fig. 1].
When stitching over ribbon, it's easiest to secure the
ribbon in place with fabric adhesive. Select a stitch
width to match the ribbon width and sew.

MOCK SMOCKING

Recreate elegant smocking in a fraction of the time it
takes to hand smock.
STITCH STITCH WIDTH
L 4-5
Sew several rows of basting stitches on the fabric. Pull
the bobbin thread to gather fabric to the desired fullness.
Select the honeycomb stitch L.
Sew between the basting stitches [Fig. 2]. Remove the
basting stitches when complete.
STITCH "M" - OVERLOCK

ATTACHING RIB KNIT TRIM

The overlock stitch is ideal for sewing knits and attaching
rib trim because it seams and overcasts at the same time.

For 1/4" seam allowances, guide the matched edges of
the seam allowances along the right edge of the
foot [Fig. 3].
For 1/2" to 5/8" seam allowances, guide the matched
edges of the seam allowances along the seam guide
marking on the needle plate [Fig. 4].
Sew, then trim the excess fabric close to the stitching
[Fig. 5].
