Joining Lace and Insertion (cont')
Place the second band (lace) into slot 4.
Adjust pressure to correct degree of lightness for even feeding.
Use a short stitch length and balanced tensions.
Hold both band edges against the end of the slots while stitching.
French Seams
The edge-stitcher makes very fine French seams, so well adapted to sheer
fabrics where raw seam edges must be concealed.
Trim away seam allowances to ¼".
Lay seam edges together, right sides of fabric outward, and insert into slot
1.
Move lug A to the left to position stitching 1/8" from the edge.
Stitch and press.
Fold with right sides of fabric together and insert into slot 1.
Move lug A to extreme left, allowing just enough margin to conceal raw
edges.
Stitch.
Tucking
Dainty tucks from "pin" width to ¼" may
be produced with the edge-stitcher.
Tucks are usually made on the
lengthwise grain of the fabric.
Draw a single thread from the
fabric, or measure from the
selvage to locate the first tuck on
the straight of the fabric grain.
