Utility stitches and practical sewing
Fancy elastic stitch (Model 1540)
The fancy elastic stitch is very useful for
materials that require a fl at seam, e.g. terry
cloth and fl eece.
• Place the two fabric edges so that they
overlap by about 2 cm and overstitch each
edge with fancy elastic stitch.
Pennant stitch (Model 1540)
The pennant stitch is one of the many types
of covering stitches. Since it can be stretched
it is particularly suitable for overstitching the
bands on elastic materials, e.g. sweatshirts or
sportswear.
• Sew the band onto the part with an overlock
stitch (see pgs 28,29)
• The seam allowance can now be
overstitched from the right side of the fabric.
Make sure that the needle enters in the
shadow of the seam.
