This stitch is useful for finishing cutting edges,
especially of easily fraying material, with a good
looking and durable edge finishing seam.
The fabric has to be placed under the foot in
such a way that the stitches are formed on the
edge.
Lower the presser foot and start sewing, while
gently guiding the fabric.
It is recommended to sew a sample, in order to
check whether you have chosen the proper
stitch setting.

This stitch is ideal for sewing and repairing
jersey and jogging suits. This stitch is just as
decorative as it is useful.
It consists of straight side lines with cross-
connections and is absolutely elastic.
The fabric has to be placed under the presser
foot in such a way that the needle, when moving
to the right, sews straight stitches and just
touches the edge of the fabric so that zigzag
stitches are sewed, when the needle moves to
the left.
