The bridging stitch is suitable for
joining two pieces of fabric with folded
edges. Also use to join lace and ribbon.
Elastic shirring
The bridging stitch is also useful for
gathered elastic shirring. Use the
buttonhole foot C, tighten the upper
thread tension. Remember that the
elastic will always be stitched double, so
take this into account when calculating
how much you will need. Place the
shirring elastic (elastic thread) around
the fi nger of the presser foot C. Sew
from the wrong side over both lengths
of the elastic following marked lines.
Gather the shirring by pulling the elastic
threads.
