Three-step zigzag stitch
Stich number 1.1.9 can be used to overcast raw
edges. Make sure the needle pierces the fabric on
the left side and overcasts the edge on the right side.
Stitch number 1.1.9 can also be used as an
elastic stitch to add elastic to pajamas, skirts and
sportswear.
Blindhem stitch
The blindhem stitch number 1.1.16 is used to
make invisible hems on skirts, trousers and home
decorating. Use foot number 3 with *%5system.
• Finish the edge of the hem.
• Fold and press the hem allowance to the wrong
side.
• Fold the hem back on itself so approximately
3/8” (1 cm) of the À nished edge extends beyond
the fold. The wrong side of your project should
now be facing up.
• Place the fabric under the presser foot so that
the fold runs along edge guide A.
• When the needle swings into the fold it should
catch a small amount of fabric. If the stitches are
visible on the right side, adjust edge guide A by
turning adjusting screw B until the stitch that
catches the hem just barely shows.
Elastic blindhem stitch
The elastic blind stitch number 1.1.17 is especially
suitable for stretchy fabrics, because the zigzag in
the stitch lets the stitch stretch. The hem is À nished
and sewn at the same time. There is no need to
À nish the raw edge À rst on most knits.
