Basic Sewing Techniques

In basic sewing techniques you will find the most commonly
used sewing techniques. When you choose one of the basic
sewing techniques, the recommended stitch for the chosen
fabric is automatically loaded.

Seam

A seam sews two pieces of fabric together with a seam
allowance that will usually be pressed open. In most cases,
edges of the seam allowance are finished with an overcast
stitch before sewing the seam.

Seams in stretch fabric must stretch with the fabric. The
stretch stitch makes a stretchy seam that is suitable for sewing
together pieces of light stretch fabric.
Your JoyOS ADVISOR™ feature will select the best stitch
1. Straight stitch 2. Stretch stitch
length and stitch width for the fabric weight and recommend
the presser foot and needle.

Overcast

Overcast fabric edges to prevent fraying and to help them lay
flat. It is easier to overcast before the garment is sewn
together.
Your JoyOS ADVISOR™ feature will select the best stitch
length and stitch width for the fabric weight and recommend
the presser foot and needle.

Seam and Overcast

The seam/overcast stitch sews the seam and overcasts the
edges all at one time. The seam/overcast technique is perfect
for stitching ribbed neckbands and cuffs. There are a number
of different seam/overcast stitches in your machine.
Your JoyOS ADVISOR™ feature will select the best one for
your fabric and make all adjustments automatically and
recommend the presser foot and needle.

Baste

Basting is temporary stitching for fitting garments, gathering
and marking. The JoyOS ADVISOR™ feature automatically
sets a long stitch length and reduces the tension so the
threads are easy to remove or to pull for gathering.
