Triple Seam
08
This strong, durable stitch is recommended where
both elasticity and strength are needed. Because of
its durability, once in place, this stitch is not easily
removed. Use it to reinforce areas such as crotch
and armhole seams or to construct items such as
backpacks. This stitch can also be used for
topstitching.
Elna invented this stitch in 1952.
Using a straight stitch (stitch length 4), baste a seam
together. Verify the fit. Reset the machine for triple
seam and sew.
Saddle Stitch
09
Similar to the Triple Seam, the long stitch length of
the Saddle Stitch makes a lovely topstitch effect for
suits, blazers, jumpers, jeans and linen napkins. Be-
cause of its configuration, once in place, this stitch is
not easily removed.
Decide distance topstitching should be located from
edge of fabric. Turn the adjustment nut to set this
distance. Position the fabric against left side of
guide. Lower the presser foot and sew.
Stretch Seam
10
