Basic Sewing Techniques
In basic sewing techniques you will find the most commonly
used sewing techniques. When you choose one of the basic
sewing techniques, the recommended stitch for the chosen
fabric is automatically loaded.
Seam
Straight stitch
Stretch stitch
A seam sews two pieces of fabric together with a seam
allowance that will usually be pressed open. In most cases,
edges of the seam allowance are finished with an overcast
stitch before sewing the seam.
Seams in stretch fabric must stretch with the fabric. The
stretch stitch makes a stretchy seam that is suitable for sewing
together pieces of light stretch fabric.
Your
JoyOS advisor
™ feature will select the best stitch length
and stitch width for the fabric weight and recommend the
presser foot and needle.
Overcast
Overcast fabric edges to prevent fraying and to help them lay
flat. It is easier to overcast before the garment is sewn
together.
Your
JoyOS advisor
™ feature will select the best stitch length
and stitch width for the fabric weight and recommend the
presser foot and needle.
Seam and Overcast
The seam/overcast stitch sews the seam and overcasts the
edges all at one time. The seam/overcast technique is perfect
for stitching ribbed neckbands and cuffs. There are a number
of different seam/overcast stitches in your machine.
Your
JoyOS advisor
™ feature will select the best one for your
fabric and make all adjustments automatically and
recommend the presser foot and needle.
