This stitch is especially suitable for stitching
worn out material.
It can also be used for reinforcing elastic fabrics
and for sewing on pieces of fabric. Also suitable
for sewing on elastics.
1. Sewing all kinds of elastic fabrics
A synthetic thread should be used.
So the seam will almost be invisible.
2. Sewing together two pieces of fabric
With the elastic seam, two pieces of fabric
can be sewed together without overlapping.
Place the two edges of the fabric under the
presser foot.
Make sure that both edges are kept close
together and that needle evenly pierces the
fabric on the right and on the left side.
3. Sewing elastic bands
Place the elastic band on the designated
spot.
Proceed to sew the elastic with the elastic
stitch, while stretching the band with your
hands by holding it both in front of and
behind the presser foot.The tighter the
tension, the closer together the ruffling.
