•
Stitch pattern rotary switch: 3, 4 or 5
•
Stitch length: 1-4
•

buttonholes, and for sewing in elastic straps.

•
Stitch length: 1-2
•

is prevented.

This stitch is suitable for sewing synthetic fabrics and other materials that easily produce pleats. It is
also suitable for a whip stitch to prevent fabrics from fraying. It can also be used for sewing in elastic
straps, and for repair works. Make sure that a border of 1.5 cm is left; this additional seam is cut off
after sewing.

•
Stitch pattern rotary switch: 1 or 2
•
Stitch length: 1-1 0
•
Sewing foot: zig-zag foot

This stitch produces a very hard seam, the needle moving two stitches forward and one stitch backward.
This stitch type is especially suitable or gusset seams. Peg the fabric by using pins before you sew
clothes.
