Elastic stitch
Because of its high elasticity, this stitch can
be used for sewing elastic on swimwear,
skirts or lingerie.
• Mark elastic and fabric in quarters.
• Pin elastic to fabric at quarter
markings.
• Place fabric and elastic under sewing
foot.
• Stretch elastic to fit the fabric. Begin
sewing.
Note: When stretching elastic, make sure to
stretch from the front and back of the sewing
foot.
Stabilizing edges
With the rolled hem foot you can hem
blouses, silk scarves and valances with
ease, without having to pre-iron the fabric
edges. The hemming prevents the edges
from fraying and a clean, durable edge is
the result.
• Fold the beginning of the fabric edge
over twice (approx. 2 mm)
• Lay the folded fabric edge underneath
the hemmer and sew a few stitches.
• Leave the needle in the fabric, raise
the presser foot and insert the fabric
into the rolled hem foot scroll.
• Lower the presser foot and guide the
fabric evenly into the rolled hem foot.
Take care that the fabric does not run
under the right half of the presser foot.
Tip: On silk, Bastiste and chiffon fabrics,
the roll hem is particularly attractive with a
zigzag stitch
