Bridging Stitch; Hemstitching/Wing Needle - Husqvarna Viking Designer I Usb User Manual

Bridging Stitch

Select the bridging stitch to sew two pieces of
fabric or trim with edges butted together. Use
this technique to join strips of lace and/or rib-
bon and to stitch them to a fi nished fabric edge.
The bridging stitch is preferred for this type of
joining for a fl at, neat result.
Fabric: Short piece of insertion lace and linen
fabric with one edge turned under or fi nished.
Touch: Menu A, Utility Stitches, Stitch A31
Snap on: Presser foot A.
• Place the pieces to be joined in the center of
the A presser foot so they are perfectly alig-
ned as you sew.
• Place lace and fabric edge to edge.
Sew:
The right zigzag stitch of the bridging stitch will
catch the lace on the right and the left zigzag,
the fabric on the left. The straight stitch sews
between the two pieces of fabric, ribbon or lace.
Optional: You may use the Edge Joining pres -
ser foot.
