Triple Strength Stitch

This strong, durable stitch is recom-
mended where both elasticity and
strength are needed to insure comfort
and durability.
Use it to reinforce areas such as crotch
and armhole seams.
Also use when constructing items such
as backpacks for extra strength.

Outline Stretch Stitch

Pattern 14 is a narrow stretch stitch
designed to eliminate puckering on
knit fabrics and bias seams, while
permitting the seam to be pressed
completely flat.
The stitch is sewn with two stitches
forward and one stitch backward
forming a seam that does not rip easily.
Garments should be basted for fitting
before seaming.
For a 1.5 cm (5/8´´) seams, use the 2
cm (6/8´´) marking on the needle plate .
When sewing light weight fabrics, set
the pressure adjusting lever at ´´1´´ or
´´2´´.
