Lock-A-Matic
The machine will automatically sew four stitches
forward, four stitches in reverse, then continue sewing
forward. When you reach the end of the fabric, press
the reverse button once. The machine will sew four
reverse stitches, four forward stitches, then stop sewing
automatically.
Locking Stitch
Lower the needle close to the front edge of the fabric.
The machine will sew several locking stitches in place
and continue sewing forward. If you press the Auto-
Lock button at the end of the seam, the machine will
sew several locking stitches in place, then stop sewing
automatically.
Triple Stretch Stitch
This strong, durable stitch is recommended where
both elasticity and strength are needed to insure
comfort and durability. Use it to reinforce areas such
as crotch and armhole seams. Also use when
constructing items such as backpacks for extra
strength.
Stretch Stitch
This stitch is a narrow stretch stitch designed to
eliminate puckering on knit fabrics and bias seams,
while permitting the seam to be pressed completely
flat. The stitch can also be used to simultaneously
seam and overcast when sewing on tricot and chiffons
for a narrow, almost invisible seam or seam finish.
