To Attach Waistline Elastic
1. Fit elastic at waistline, allowing 25 millimeters (1")
for joining. Lap ends and join with multi-stitch zig-
zag.
2. Divide elastic band and garment waistline into quar-
ters or eighths, Place elastic over fabric and pin the
two together at these points.
3. Take a few stitches to anchor elastic in place, then
stretch-elastic between pins as you sew using both
hands to hold elastic taut in front and back of the
presser foot.
PLAIN STRETCH SEAMS

A narrow, closely spaced semi-stretch stitch is ideal for
seaming knit and stretch fabrics. It can be used in
place of straight stitching to retain fabric elasticity and
is particularly appropriate for underarm and crotch
seams where stretch and give is essential. Stitch and
press seam edges open as when using the straight
stitch.
