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
invisible and even the wrong side looks
neat.
Seam and Overcast
Some stitches can be used for seaming and
overcasting 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 also 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 prevent 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.
