Sewing Terry Cloth
Terry cloth is a rather loosely woven fabric in
which seams easily break.
Sew the garment together with straight stitch.
Trim the seams and press the seam allowance fl at
and sew the edges down against the garment on
the wrong side with three-step zigzag.
Even though the stitching goes right through to
the "right" side of the garment, it is nearly invis-
ible and even the wrong side looks neat.
Seam and Overcast
Some stitches can be used for seaming and over-
casting directly on the edge where a 5 mm (1/4")
seam is allowed. Place the fabric so that the inside
right "toe" of the presser foot follows the edge of
the fabric.
Presser foot J is used to overlock and overcast
many different fabrics with the exception of
heavy, fi rm fabrics. The pin on the presser foot
should follow the edge of the fabric and will pre-
vent the fabric from puckering. Stitch width 5.5
mm. Follow the recommended setting, given for
stitch length.
Overcast stitch may be used to sew light and
medium non-stretch fabric and light stretch fabric.
Snap on presser foot J.
Overlock is chiefl y used for sewing heavy stretch
fabric. Snap on presser foot B.
